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
CG Says: The 2020 Honda Fit drops the EX-L with Navigation model. The Honda Sensing safety package (autonomous emergency braking, lane-departure warning and mitigation, road-departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot alert) is no longer available on entry-level LX and Sport models, but remains standard on EX and EX-L trims. Fit is a subcompact four-door hatchback that was refreshed for 2018. The lone engine on all Fits is a 1.5-liter 4-cylinder with 130 horsepower. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is available on all Fits, and a 6-speed manual is offered on LX and Sport models. The Fit is most space-efficient, cargo-versatile vehicle in its class. Fit’s compact size, responsive steering, and sporty suspension tuning make it very nimble, but the ride is a bit stiff. Still, Fit remains one of the most compelling vehicles in the subcompact class.
