Honda Fit Review
2010 Honda Fit
Price Range: $14,750 - $16,410

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs almost the same to get the Fit to the dealership as the average coupe/hatchback. The typical coupe/hatchback pales in comparison to the Honda Fit when it comes to gas mileage. The Honda Fit is tremendously less expensive than the typical coupe/hatchback with respect to MSRP.

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

Convenience
You'll most certainly have to take the Honda Fit for a fill-up more often than the average coupe/hatchback because of its tank size and fuel economy.

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

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

Performance
Regarding horsepower, the typical coupe/hatchback packs quite a wallop and will knock the Honda Fit down a few rungs. On the flip side, note that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums.

Handling
With their comparable turning circles, the Honda Fit and the average coupe/hatchback likely handle about the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Honda Fit's engine is tremendously smaller than the average coupe/hatchback's. Bear in mind that smaller engines can be stressed more; on the flip side, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the average coupe/hatchback is tremendously more powerful than the Honda Fit. Torque equals pickup, and the average coupe/hatchback will have picked up and gone by the time the Honda Fit finally gets moving.

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