2016 Honda Fit EX

The 2016 Fit is Honda's subcompact hatchback, and it's the rare small car that feels bigger inside than its footprint suggests. It's nimble and eager in city traffic, with light steering that makes parking a breeze, though the ride is on the firm side. The Magic Seat folds flat or flips up to swallow tall cargo, and rear legroom is surprisingly generous for such a compact car. Some owners mention the infotainment screen glitching and the low front end scraping, so watch for those on a test drive. The EX sits between the base LX and the leather-lined EX-L, adding a moonroof, fog lights, and a 7-inch touchscreen with HondaLink. Its 1.5L I4 makes 130 horsepower and pairs with a six-speed manual that's a joy to row through the gears, earning 32 mpg combined. Honda's LaneWatch camera on the passenger mirror is an EX exclusive, showing a wide-angle view of your blind spot when you signal right.
