  1. BEST FOR THE PRICE

    WHILE SHOPPING FOR THE MOST FUEL EFFICENT/LEAST HARMFUL TO THE WALLET, I TESTED THE TOYOTA YARIS, VW RABBIT, CHEVY AVEO, AND THE HONDA FIT. THE FIT WAS BY FAR THE BEST OF THE LOT. THE STANDARD AMENITIES ARE EXCEPTIONAL AND THE INTERIOR ROOM IS PHENOMINAL. GETS MY VOTE AND WILL SOON HAVE ONE IN THE DRIVEWAY.
