Specifications & Summary

Summary

We like the 2009 Honda Fit. It's roomy, full of utility and does have a bit of fun factor to it. The manual transmission is much more entertaining and responsive than the automatic in the Honda Fit Sport with the paddles shifters. The base versions of the Nissan Versa, the Toyota Yaris and the Scion xD are substantial competitors in both price and features, but equipped with a manual gearbox, the base-model Honda Fit can definitely run with this pack. We only wish the VSA was available in all models, not just the top trim level.
