2018 Honda FIT EX - 2017 is a difficult year for subcompact cars. Annual sales have declined dramatically compared to 2016 and there are no signs that they will return in the near future. Only Mazda2 based on Toyota Yaris IA has managed to record an increase in sales. Each of the other cars in this segment is decreasing for this year. Compared to the shedding of blood the metaphor experienced by some competitors, the Honda Fit decline of sales of 5 percent for this year looks like a win.

It is also important to add Honda sensing to all models. Lines packages are still helpful, adjustable cruise control, mounting collision trailer, advanced collision warning, departure warning tape and departure alert of the road together in the safety pack, also if not better , than you can get from some fancy brands. Under the skin, Honda engineers started working to improve the suspension, direction, hardening chassis and lethal sounds, to make the cheapest car the cheapest experience. The difference is not day and night, but you certainly don't hear the sound of the engine. The suspension handles the speed bumps and the pavements break very well, and the combination of a rigid chassis, a slightly sporting suspension and a more communicative steering system means better handling at the corner.

The engine, however, still makes the same couples 130 hp and 114 lb-ft. This is not enough to make it faster, but it is as much like the Sonic Chevrolet of 138 cp and the Hyundai Accent of 137 hp.
