Fit wins "10 Fun and Efficient Cars"

well...sort of. I just assumed it won, since of the 10 listed, the fit was the last mentioned, and last = best.

Interesting to note, that the Fit when being compared and tested against it's closest competition, always seems to be coming out on top. That's reassuring, as we all have some doubts, even though minor at times, about our final decision / selection.

Just saw a test done on DrivingTV.ca where the tests were done by every day people, and it was interesting to see the results -- Fit came out on top, but the surprise was where some of the others finished up -- they did not have a Versa at the time of the tests, but had others like the Kia Rio, etc.

You can check out the segment on the web site, with video and audio features, of past episodes of the TV show.

Later,
Bill

In car and driver, one of Fit's first reviews, it reviewed every chracteristic of each of the 7 cars. The Fit's handling was about 70mph on the slalom, which is 6 mph faster than a corvette explained the magazine.

Here you go: one of fit's first reviews. Also one of the most thorough and most credible (C/D must have teh fastest 0-60 time @ 8.7 seconds)
