Another spacious choice is the Honda Fit. This little hatchback is a packaging wonder. Engineers have managed to maximize its interior volume while minimizing its exterior dimensions. Against all odds it offers nearly 53 cubic feet of cargo volume!
Power is provided by a 1.5-liter four-cylinder the delivers 130 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque, adequate if not inspiring figures. But what the Fit lacks in outright performance it more than makes up for with fuel economy. When equipped with the optional CVT it stickers at 33 MPG city, 41 highway and 36 combined. A six-speed manual transmission is also available.
