Pros: Outstanding interior cargo space and versatility in a small package; agile, fun-to-drive character; availability of upscale features
Cons: Engine is noisy during acceleration; touchscreen system absorbs virtually all audio functions and complicates many of them; ride is rather stiff
2019 Honda Fit
CG Says: The 2019 Honda Fit is unchanged after last year’s refresh. Fit is a subcompact four-door hatchback. The lone engine for all Fit trim levels is a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder rared at 130 horsepower. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available on all Fits, while a six-speed manual transmission is offered only on entry-level LX, Sport, and midlevel EX models. Available driver-assistance features include autonomous emergency braking, lane-departure warning and mitigation, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot alert, and cross-traffic alert. The Fit is the most space-efficient, cargo-versatile vehicle in its class. Fit’s compact size, responsive steering, and sporty suspension tuning make it very nimble–and fun to drive–but ride quality may be an issue for some new-car shoppers, as it’s on the firm side. Still, Fit remains one of the most compelling vehicles in the subcompact class, and well worth a spot on your test-drive list.
