The Honda Fit has once again conquered Car and Driver's 10 Best Cars list. This highly respected automotive magazine had lots of praise for the Honda Fit, from its entertaining drive to the 2nd-row Magic Seat®. "We're equally zinged by this Honda's upscale interior, its quick and precise steering, an engaging shifter, spot-on ergonomics, a windshield as big as a minivan's, and a rear seat that is both adult-habitable and drops to the floor faster than a Marine pumping push-ups? the Fit offers a fun-to-drive quotient that proves basic transportation isn't always basic.
Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com, The
Trusted Resource for automotive information, honored the 2011
Fit with its Best Resale Value Award in the Sub-Compact Car category. This
prestigious award is given to vehicles that are expected to have the best
