Looking for a car that will give you the most bang for your buck? Stop right where you are. After evaluating 200 cars on the basis of performance, reliability ratings and overall costs of ownership, Consumer Reports, has released their annual Best New-Car Value List, and the Honda Fit not only took the top spot for compact cars, overall, it ranked as one of the most valuable cars on the list.

Japanese automakers dominated the list, with the Honda Fit beating out some pretty impressive competition. Other cars in the compact segment included the Optima and the Legacy as well as the Hybrid Fusion. Consumer Reports also made a point to say that of all the vehicles they rated, small cars ranked consistently higher than the average. Even the lowest scoring compact car ranked close to the average of the entire list.

With a starting price of just $15,175, you're probably thinking that the Fit very easily beat out the more expensive competition. But it's not just about the price, according to Consumer Reports automotive editor, Rik Paul, "A low price doesn't necessarily make a car a good value. A cheap vehicle can wind up costing you more money over time or can be disappointing down the road. We think real value is what you get for your money."¹

And the Honda Fit has it all - it's compact, fun-to-drive, easy on the wallet and the environment, and it's comes with all of the features  you expect from a Honda. For a small car, it has an impressive amount of cargo space, a peppy 117-hp, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a sporty look, and iPod/USB/Bluetooth connectivity, just to name a few of the things we love about the Fit.
