Honda Fit
Base Price $16,315
Body Type Hatchback
All-new The little interior-packaging miracle that is
the Honda Fit has done it again. Despite the hatch being shorter in length,
rear leg room has increased. Aside from its new look, the Fit gets a more
powerful naturally aspirated engine, upgraded interior materials, and improved
fuel economy. Chassis upgrades include new rear shocks and tuning aimed at
isolating road noise, better ride quality, and a more entertaining driving
experience.
Avoid Paying for Lane Watch. Just adjust your mirrors
properly.

Hyundai's top-of-the-line sedan before the Genesis and Equus arrived. The
frontdrive Azera gets new front and rear fascias, new wheel designs, and LED
foglights. Inside, the center stack has been redesigned, and newly available
safety features include blind-spot monitoring and lane departure warning
systems. The revised Korean-spec Azera is pictured here.
