Overview

The 2013 Honda Fit is a subcompact hatchback offered in 2 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $15,425. For that price, it mainly competes with the Chevrolet Spark, the Kia Rio Hatchback, and the Toyota Yaris Hatchback. Between 2 trims, the Honda Fit offers only a single engine. It is a 1.5L Inline-4 engine making 117 horsepower and 106 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Honda Fit reaches 60 MPH from zero in 8.9 seconds. Depending on the transmission, the Honda Fit can manage a combined fuel economy between 29 and 31 MPG. While we’re on the topic of choices, the 7 striking colors the Honda Fit comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The Fit Sport adds some decent styling cues and convenience features for a low price bump to the base Fit. Moreover, it’s the only trim that’s eligible for the optional navigation system which comes with Bluetooth and voice-command compatibility.
