2011 HONDA FIT

Honda’s Fit does something not a lot of small cars can do: It acts like a larger car than its subcompact exterior suggests.

The enviable cargo and passenger space makes this hatchback a replacement for bigger sedans. Compared with its subcompact competitors, the Fit has a healthy dose of personality; on top of being able to haul a lot of goods, it’s also fun to drive.

The fun factor may not appeal to everyone, BUT Its fuel economy rating, though — as high as 28/35 mpg city/highway — should appeal to anyone. Not only does the rear seat fold down, creating a flat load floor, but also the cushions actually fold up, too. When the cushions are in their upright position, there’s room from the lowest section of the floor to the top of the ceiling, allowing you to stash tall objects.
