A Four-Door for the Fit

The New Honda Four-Door Sedan

The Honda Fit is a hatchback that surprises all of us with it’s spacious interior that can hold plenty of people and cargo, that at the same time, is small enough to make parking a breeze. Now it might become available as the new Honda four-door sedan. It is already offered in other countries and is known as the City.

Questions about whether or not we will be seeing the Fit as a four-door were raised after the City was spotted near Honda’s facility in Torrance California. The sedan with the City badge was seen rolling around the city and was sporting plates that are reportedly used for Honda vehicles that are part of the public relations fleet.

Though we can’t say exactly what kind of function the City has as a part of this fleet, we know that it has wheels on the ground in the U.S. Though this variation of one of our favorite vehicles offers less interior volume, it will be nice to once again have a truly compact sedan in the Honda lineup.

It will offer an ideal sedan option for someone looking to spend as little as possible on a vehicle while still being able to get their hands on something that offers quality and safety. This is possible with the Fit as it recently was given top marks in crash safety and it is incredibly affordable. And the arrival of a sedan will offer a solution for someone that likes the idea of the Fit, but would prefer something that isn’t a hatchback.

The one thing we hope doesn’t change though, would be the Magic Seats. As long as they remain a part of the Fit, we will be happy with any changes to size that occur with the hatchback as it is transformed into a sedan. Or more so, slightly changed from the City and renamed so that it will pass regulations and remain recognizable.

The Ideal Minivan, Sedan or Other Vehicle for the Family

Kelley Blue Book recently named the top 15 family cars out there, four of which happen to be Hondas. So if you’re trying to find the ideal minivan, sedan or other vehicle for the family, then we recommend that you see what Honda has to offer, considering it had more family vehicles to offer than any other brand.

The 2015 Honda Odyssey is the obvious choice for the family. The leading vehicle in it’s segment, with more power and fuel efficiency mixed with an impressive interior in terms of space and standard features. All of the seats can even be removed when home projects need to get done. It is versatile and can help the family in just about every way.

The next most similar vehicle in the group is the new CR-V, recently redesigned it is sleeker looking than ever. It is also filled with a solid mixture of safety and comfort features, making it ideal for an adventurous family on the go. It can also be found in all-wheel drive to help you get through all those mountain passes, even on the snowiest days.

Then there’s the two Honda sedans, the Civic and the Accord. Both offer a fun ride and exceptional safety. They are also easily afforded and are great for families with new drivers that will be borrowing the car from time to time. Both offer exceptional fuel efficiency and great features for both entertainment and safety. The Civic is also a great car to pass down when you plan to get a new one, it lasts forever and is a perfect first vehicle.

No matter what option you go with, Honda makes all of its vehicles with the utmost care, it’s why so many of them continue to lead the segment in style, performance and cost. If you’re thinking of getting a new vehicle for the family, start with Honda.

The Most Popular Vehicles in America

Popularity isn’t Everything, But it Helps

For the past few years, the Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V and Odyssey have retained top spots as the most popular vehicles in U.S., in their respective segments. The Accord and Civic have also taken the top spots in California, a spot that had long been held by a certain hybrid vehicle. So if you’re looking for the most popular vehicles in America, look no further than Planet Honda.

Each vehicle managed to be sold more often than every other vehicle in their segment. The Honda Civic’s closest competitor was still nearly 45,000 units behind. The Honda Odyssey also performed well and held onto 32 percent of the retail segment. But why is each vehicle so popular?

Each of these Honda vehicles offers drivers superior handling, power and fuel efficiency. They also offer some of the safest drives available. The Honda Odyssey specifically shined when it was the only minivan to score an overall good rating in a new crash test performed by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The CR-V scored just as well and earned superior marks for front crash prevention with optional equipment.

The 2015 Honda Civic was also named the car of the year in its segment by Kelley Blue Book, because of its overall performance and quality. It offers a spacious interior with an easy to use infotainment system along with a surprisingly powerful engine that provides a fun to drive experience for all Civic owners.

The Accord is popular for those looking for something even more spacious yet. The midsize sedan also offers two engine options and much more power than the Civic, making it a perfect option for someone that enjoys driving and spends a fair amount of time in their vehicle every day. There just isn’t a bad option for drivers among the lineup of Honda vehicles, which is why so many of them are so popular.
