2019 Honda Fit LX 4dr Hatchback w/Honda Sensing (1.5L 4cyl CVT)
I upgraded from a 2013 fiat to the fit. I didn't want to go too large but I needed a bit more room and everyone I spoke with said buy a Honda, it's the best. So far (a week and a half after purchase) it's been a great car. Fun to drive, handles well, and has most of the bells and whistles I wanted in a new vehicle. I'm sad Honda stopped producing these as I would encourage anyone to look … at this car!

Which Fit does Edmunds recommend?
We recommend the EX trim for most buyers because it represents excellent value for the class. It comes with the larger 7-inch touchscreen interface, Honda's LaneWatch technology (essentially a blind-spot camera for the right side of the car), proximity entry with push-button start, and even a sunroof. At the EX level you're missing out on the EX-L's available navigation upgrade, but smartphone owners can connect with either Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to fill in that gap.

Driving
7.5The Fit isn't overly quick to accelerate, but it is nimble around turns and generally fun to drive. It's also stable at freeway speeds. Though by no means what we would call a "hot hatch," the Fit is responsive and an easy car to live with on a daily basis.
Comfort
7.5Considering the Fit's simple suspension design and short wheelbase, the ride quality is certainly decent. The seats are comfortable, and the cabin is decently quiet.
Interior
9.0Clever packaging and ease of use are hallmarks of the Fit. Thanks to the configurable rear seat, this is a truly versatile cabin. Cargo capacity is impressive, and legroom is generous all around. The only shortcoming is rear headroom.
Utility
10.0For such a small car, the Fit shines when it comes to moving cargo. The Magic Seats allow for a number of configurations, so the Fit can tackle all sorts of jobs.
Technology
For 2018, the Fit has been updated with driver aids and active safety features, as well as full smartphone integration with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
