2015 Honda Fit

When it was first introduced in 2007, the Fit received acclaim for being a leader in fuel economy but with  a sporty look and feel. The 2015 version is even greener. While the 2013 Fit automatic got a combined highway/city mpg of 31 miles per gallon, that number is now up to 36 combined highway/city mpg for the new version, thanks to a new direct-injected VTEC engine. The improved fuel economy doesn’t result in sacrificed performance; the engine output is increased by 11 horsepower over the previous model. There is increased legroom as well.
