The Honda Fit Sport has received top spot among tested subcompact cars from the Consumer Reports. The all-new Honda Fit scored over its competitors including the Toyota Yaris and Nissan Versa in Consumer Reports' tests of six subcompacts and small sedans for the March issue. Last fall, the Fit rolled out with a slightly large body that provides more space. "The Fit seems spacious on the inside, with an interior that is unusually versatile and flexible and cargo capacity rivaling that of a small SUV," said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' Auto Test Center in East Haddam, Connecticut. "Lightness and agility make the Fit fun to drive and the powertrain is smooth and willing," he added.

The Fit is powerful and comfortable
Consumer Reports testers found the newly-redesigned Fit a practical and enjoyable car. It provides easy access to the cabin. It is well-equipped with a bevy of features and offers comfortable seating. The base Fit is packed with a 118-horsepower, 1.5 liter four-cylinder engine that ensures quick takeoffs. The five-speed automatic in the base model offers a more relaxed ride, while the Fit Sport's five-speed manual transmission is easy to shift and enhances its sportiness. Two trim levels of the Fit the base model with an automatic transmission and the manual upscale Sport model were tested by the Consumer Reports. Both these vehicles received "Very Good" overall road test scores. Two small sedans--the Suzuki SX4 and Nissan Versa also earned "Very Good" overall rating. The Fit and the SX4 are the only vehicles from March month's test group that are recommended by Consumer Reports. The recommendation is made on the basis of good performance in CR's tests. The vehicles must have performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test and have minimum average predicted reliability based on Consumer Reports' Annual Car Reliability Survey.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has recognized the Honda Ridgeline as a 2009 "Top Safety Pick." The award was based on several extensive tests, including a frontal-offset crash test, side crash test and rear-impact test. In addition, each winner was required to have electronic stability control available as either standard equipment or as an option. Active safety systems such as stability control can help drivers avoid collisions altogether. Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA®), also known as electronic stability control, is standard equipment on the 2009 Honda Ridgeline.
