TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2017 Honda Fit gives up some fun-to-drive spunk for unparalleled interior space and flexibility.

The 2017 Smart ForTwo is the easiest car to park that you can buy, but if you have other needs, four-seat cars can offer more cabin space, equal fuel economy, and more flexibility.

TCC Likes

Exceptionally versatile interior
Great fuel economy
Well-equipped, even in base trim

Easier parking than any other car
Beefier design
Better refinement

TCC Dislikes

Front seats aren't the most comfortable
Busy interior trim
Not as fun to drive as before

Gas mileage not stellar
No safety ratings
Four-seat cars can be cheaper
