When it comes to the hatchback segment, the 2010 Honda Fit is clearly the segment leader with a myriad of winning qualities, including an excellent balance of performance and practicality, a versatile interior with lots of passenger and cargo room, very good fuel efficiency, solid crash test ratings and affordable pricing.

This subcompact four-door hatchback is a surprisingly nimble performer while offering good gas mileage as well ... big pluses. But it's also the Fit's interior design and functionality that further separates it from the pack. The cabin has been extremely well thought out in terms of user-friendliness and its visibility is outstanding. Even with its small size there's plenty of room for both front and rear adult passengers.
