Not a perfect Fit for everyone? Try the 3rd Generation Honda City

With most Americans turning to smaller cars because of rising fuel prices, it would seem like a good idea at this point to bring Honda’s latest subcompact to the U.S. Data on the car’s fuel economy is not available as of yet but it is expected to match the Fit’s average of 33 mpg. The 2009 City has all the bells and whistles to attract buyers looking for that balance of beauty and functionality - a design that efficiently uses space to create a roomy interior; a modern amber-colored instrument cluster; and F1-inspired paddle shifters for the automatic variant.

Reviews of the Honda Fit mostly praise the hatchback for its great value for money. Should Honda decide to bring in the City, it will most likely take away a considerable portion of the Fit’s following. But that would not really be a bad thing for Honda since customers wanting variety will have the subcompact sedan as an option. Everything else considered, a U.S. version of the 3rd Generation Honda City would prove to be a worthy challenger against the likes of the Chevrolet Aveo, Hyundai Accent or Toyota Yaris Sedan.
