TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2016 Fiesta offers fun and features not expected at these prices, but it lacks interior space compared to top rivals.

The 2016 Honda Fit isn't as entertaining to drive as it once was, but it's unmatched in safety and space, thanks to the Magic Seat.

TCC Likes

Crisp, nicely proportioned exterior
Excellent steering
Strong feature set

Cheap and cheerful, minus the cheap
Unbelievable interior space
Best safety in the class

TCC Dislikes

Not the most spacious
Balky PowerShift transmission
Base audio controls

Loud, coarse engine
Front seats could use more support
Busy interior trim
