Overview

The 2017 Honda Fit makes for an excellent contender in the subcompact hatchback class. With 3 trims on offer, the Fit has a base MSRP of $16,090, with prices going all the way up to an MSRP of $20,365, competing directly with the Toyota Yaris, the Chevrolet Spark, and the Kia Rio Hatchback. Only a 1.5L Inline-4 engine is offered, mated to a 6-Speed Manual transmission. Together, they produce 130 horsepower and 114 lb-ft of torque.

Accelerating from 0-60 in 8.5 seconds, the Honda Fit maintains a combined fuel economy of 32 MPG. Honda offers the Fit in 8 stunning colors, with the Passion Berry Pearl being a particular favorite of ours.

Buying Advice

We would recommend you to go with the 2017 Honda Fit’s EX trim that provides you the amenities and options of the higher trims without breaking your bank. Bundles like all-year protection for just $365 can assist you in keeping your car and mind at peace.
