Hmm, and where oh where is the Chevy Aveo on the list? You know, since those cars are sooooo much better than ours according to some people. LOL.

I like this part of the article best:

"With 109 horsepower, blazing acceleration isn’t part of the deal, but it’s worth noting that the Fit posted an astonishing speed in our lane-change test (71.4 mph)"

sweet

AWESOME.

Glad I definitely made the right decision in purchasing a new car! Not that I needed a magazine to tell me that, but it's nice to have some backup.

2 years in the North American market, two times it's been named to C&D's 10 Best List!

You're just a nasty hater. Quit hating on something just because it's Korean. The Aveo has been has been included in some prestigious lists:

The Porsche Boxster and Cayman are pretty much one car so the comma and "and" needs to be switched on that post.

I wonder how much faster it would have gone through the lane change with the Progress rear bar. I know mine feels much more composed through the twisties.

its not, but that still doesn't change the fact that, as they said, 'blazing acceleration' isn't something the fit is good at stock.

i'm glad the acccord and gti made it too. some personal faves of mine. oh and the 3 series too.

Honda used to dominate that list. At least one year five of the ten were either Hondas or Acuras.

This was GM's year, with three of the ten.

ROFL. For a second I thought you were serious, then I saw what types of top "lists" these were.

wow it seems the Fit is the only car in tis class not on that list along with the Versa... and it was nice to see only one honda.. tho i dont really get why the s2k was on there... its not an unsafe car at all...

Until they added stability control, the rear end of the S2000 could be tricky. Push one hard and you'll see what I mean.

I assume this is why insurance rates on the car are crazy high, so high that I'd never personally buy one for just this reason. That's money you never get back.
