5 reasons to buy the 2019 Honda Fit
1. Fun-to-drive personality
The Honda Fit is a great little car to boot around town in, especially in cities where space is at a premium. Zipping in and out of tight parking garages can feel effortless with the 2019 Fit's agile design and 35-cubic foot curb-to-curb turning diameter. Its responsive driving dynamics and tight handling complement a peppy 1.5L four-cylinder on all 2019 models, plus it's one of the few subcompacts that offers a manual transmission (LX, Sport, and EX trims), so you can engage with each climbing rev. With the six-speed manual transmission, the 2019 Fit's 1.5L four-cylinder makes 130 horsepower and 114 lb.-ft. of torque, giving it the right amount of get-up-and-go.
2. Great fuel economy
Looking for a vehicle that sips gas? The Honda Fit's mpg ratings are where it's at. The 2019 LX trim with the 1.5L four-cylinder and CVT delivers an EPA-estimated 40 mpg highway.
3. Interior versatility
The Honda Fit is proof that good things come in small packages. This subcompact is spacious with a surprising amount of interior room to carry up to five passengers and their belongings. All 2019 models include 39.3 inches of adult-friendly rear-seat legroom with 16.6 cubic feet of trunk space. But where the Fit excels is versatility. By folding the second-row Magic Seat, you can fill the 2019 model with 52.7 cubic feet of cargo–that's enough room to transport a bicycle. Taking your paddleboard to the beach? Just fold the front passenger seat backward and the right rear seat forward and you have seven feet of room at your disposal (all 2019 models). Green thumbs can bring tall plants home from the greenhouse, too, by folding up the cushion of the Magic Seat to reveal almost four feet of standing space (all 2019 models).
4. Sporty good looks
If you want a subcompact that looks as good as it drives, the Fit Sport is a stylish choice. This 2019 trim wears exclusive equipment that ups the exterior's ante, including sleek front and side underbody spoilers and a rear diffuser with orange pinstriping. A chrome exhaust finisher also comes standard on the 2019 Sport, along with slick 16-inch glossy-black alloy wheels. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob with orange stitching add to the 2019 Sport's race car appeal, while fog lights complement the subcompact's aggressive stance.
5. Top-shelf tech
Don't be fooled by the 2019 Honda Fit's entry-level status, this subcompact includes some amazing technology. All 2019 trims come standard with a multi-angle rearview camera to simplify stressful parking moves, while Honda Sensing® driver-assist features are standard on all 2019 CVT models, including a Collision Mitigation Braking System™, adaptive cruise control, and lane-keeping and road departure mitigation systems. Sport and higher 2019 trims boast a seven-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for seamless smartphone integration, while a Honda Satellite-Linked Navigation System™ with voice recognition is optional on 2019 EX-L trims. That's a lot of high-tech frills in one smart subcompact!

Toyota Yaris
The Toyota Yaris dishes up good value without compromising on-road fun. All 2019 trims work off a 1.5L four-cylinder that pumps out 106 horsepower and 103 lb.-ft. of torque for lively acceleration when boarding on-ramps or passing on the highway. The 2019 Yaris also boasts a standard six-speed manual transmission with a compact gearbox for lightning-fast gear shifts, but a six-speed automatic is available on all trims if that's your preference. Have a passion for performance? Just throw the 2019 Yaris into Sport Mode and you'll feel the sedan come alive with sharper throttle responses and more dynamic handling.
