2013 Honda Fit vs. 2013 Chevrolet Sonic Review

Comparison Review


Comfort
The Honda Fit offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Chevrolet Sonic. Offering just a little more front head- and legroom than the Chevrolet Sonic, the Honda Fit may be a little roomier and more comfortable for the driver and front seat passengers.

Convenience
With the Chevrolet Sonic you will definitely be making less frequent stops at the gas station than with the Honda Fit, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Honda Fit will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Chevrolet Sonic. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Honda Fit and the Chevrolet Sonic have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
Since the Honda Fit is much slimmer than the Chevrolet Sonic, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Honda Fit takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Chevrolet Sonic.

Drivetrain
With its lower torque, the Honda Fit doesn't do as good a job transmitting power to its wheels as the Chevrolet Sonic.

Handling
The Honda Fit has a smaller turning radius than the Chevrolet Sonic, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Honda Fit has less horsepower than the Chevrolet Sonic, so it will probably be somewhat slower.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Honda Fit and the Chevrolet Sonic. The Honda Fit has a roomier cargo area for holding your bags or other items than the Chevrolet Sonic.

Warranty
The Honda Fit comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Chevrolet Sonic.
