Overview

The 2016 Honda Fit is a subcompact hatchback offered in 4 trims, starting off at a base MSRP of $15,890. For that price, it mainly competes with the Toyota Yaris, the Kia Rio Hatchback, and the Chevrolet Spark. Between 4 trims, the Fit offers 2 powertrains. It is a 1.5L Inline-4 engine making 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque. However, there is a choice between a 6-speed manual and a CVT automatic transmission.

The Fit reaches 60 MPH from zero in 8.5 seconds on the CVT models, which gets pumped up to 8.0 seconds with the manual transmission. Depending on the powertrain, the Fit can manage a combined fuel economy between 32 and 36 MPG. While we're on the topic of choices, the 8 striking colors the Fit comes in really pull you towards itself.

Buying Advice

The 2016 Honda Fit is a powerful and engaging hatchback offered in multiple trim options and powertrain combinations. We recommend opting for the mid-level EX trim equipped with the CVT transmission as it is the one that offers the most value.
