The Fit impressed kbb.com with its low starting price, but it needed more than just affordability to join the cool clique.

With strong competition, the Fit needed to be efficient[1] and charming to please automotive critics. The overall package of the Fit wasn't overlooked, and Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com named the 2009 Fit one of its 2009 Top 10 Green Cars[2]. They said, "?the Honda Fit so handily outshines its competitors in our eyes that it's making the list again this year." Clearly, the 2009 Honda Fit is more than just another high-mileage[1] compact car, and Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com concurs.
