What it is

The 2007 Honda Fit is a five-door hatchback that replaces the Civic at the entry-level end of the car market. With an estimated base price between $13,000 and $14,000, the new Honda Fit is priced higher than competitors like the Chevy Aveo ($9,995), Toyota Yaris ($10,950), Kia Rio ($11,000) and Nissan Versa ($12,000 estimated). However, Honda believes customers will find the Fit’s versatility, specifically its interior flexibility, to be well worth the extra cost.
