2013 Honda Fit Sport

The 2013 Fit is Honda's subcompact hatchback, a small car that makes the most of its footprint. It's eager around town, with quick steering and a light feel that makes parking and city driving a breeze. The ride is on the firm side, so you'll feel bumps, but the trade-off is that it stays composed on twisty roads. The Magic Seat folds flat or flips up to swallow tall items, and the cabin feels surprisingly roomy for a car this size. Cruise control, a USB audio connection, and six speakers set the Sport apart from the base Fit. The five-speed manual is a joy to row through the gears, making the most of the eager 117 horsepower from the 1.5L I4. A set of paddle shifters and a seven-speed mode are yours if you pick the automatic, but the manual keeps the driving more engaging.
