2012 Honda Fit Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Honda Fit to the dealership as the average coupe/hatchback. Producing a precise gas mileage evaluation is so tough that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the Fit is the winner regarding gas mileage. The typical coupe/hatchback won't tax your gasoline budget considerably more than the Fit will. In terms of MSRP, the Honda Fit costs tremendously less than the average coupe/hatchback.

Utility
The Honda Fit will quite certainly prove more convenient than the typical coupe/hatchback for those of you with frequent child-cargo.

Convenience
You will most certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Fit than with the average coupe/hatchback.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Honda Fit's front cabin compared to the typical coupe/hatchback. The Fit offers more head- and leg-room to your passengers than the typical coupe/hatchback does.

Dimensions
The average coupe/hatchback is tremendously heavier than the Honda Fit. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the average coupe/hatchback than the Honda Fit because of its larger tank. The Honda Fit and the average coupe/hatchback compete for the same parking spaces.

Performance
As far as horsepower, the typical coupe/hatchback packs quite a punch and will knock the Honda Fit down a few rungs. On the other hand, keep in mind that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Honda Fit and the typical coupe/hatchback most definitely handle approximately the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The typical coupe/hatchback has a larger engine than the Honda Fit. Bear in mind that smaller engines are often cheaper to fix, but smaller engines can be stressed more. Torque equals pickup, and the average coupe/hatchback will have picked up and gone by the time the Honda Fit finally gets moving. The Honda Fit could learn a lesson or two from the average coupe/hatchback when it comes to torque.

Warranty
The basic after-sale protection that comes with the Honda Fit isn't quite as generous as the average coupe/hatchback's.
