I was not surprised to learn it was on Car & Driver's 10 Best list for 2007. Easily the most fun to drive subcompact [and for years later].

I usually push my car if I'm just moving it in the driveway. The Fit is noticeably heavier:

2432 lbs for the manual. That's over 400 lbs heavier than a 2014 Mirage manual!
