Price Honda, a leading Delaware Honda dealership, is proud to inform you that the Honda Fit tops the list of best small cars of 2010 for value, beating out competition like the Volkswagen Golf.  The valuation of these small cars was carried out with a special score system. It consisted of the predicted-reliability rating and the five-year ownership cost of the participating cars.  The average model value score was taken as 1; thus, if the value score was above 1 that meant the car was better than the average one.  The Honda Fit has secured a number of awards including the prestigious Car and Driver Magazine's 2009 "10 Best" list and Kelly Blue Book's "Top 10 Green Cars" and "Coolest New Cars Under $18,000" awards.

It is not surprising that the Honda Fit, with its $16,020 market price, has topped the list of the best 2010 small cars for the value.  It received a test score of 2.0 which means it is two times better in terms of value than an average small car in the same 5 year period.  Cost per mile of the Honda Fit was tallied at just $0.42.  Overall test score earned by the Honda Fit was 68.

The 2010 Honda Fit is a 4-door, 5-passenger family-sized sedan available also in a sport option, both with a manual or automatic transmission.  The Honda Fit offers a long list of standard features including outstanding fuel economy and performance while still maintaining a high level of affordability. 

So if you're looking for an affordable, award-winning new car, with loads of value, the Honda Fit may just be the one for you.  Visit the online showroom at Price Honda serving the Newark, Wilmington, Dover and Rehoboth Beach areas to learn more about the Honda Fit and other new Honda vehicles and incentives.  Also, be sure to check out their extensive inventory of used vehicles and pre-owned specials or schedule a service appointment today.

Price Honda is proud that four Honda vehicles have won appreciation from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) by featuring on the list of the "Greenest Vehicles of 2010." The Civic GX natural gas car won the title of America's greenest vehicle for the seventh consecutive year. In the annual ACEEE's "Green Book Online" ranking of environmentally responsible vehicles (available at www.greenercars.org), the natural gas-powered Civic GX with near-zero emissions ranked first, with the Civic Hybrid, Insight and Fit joining the list on the ACEEE's 12 most environmentally responsible vehicles available to the Honda customers.

This is the tenth year in a row that a Honda vehicle received the number one ranking and the ninth consecutive year that Honda vehicles held at least three positions in the top 12. Honda continues to set the standard for socially and environmentally responsible vehicles with products like the Civic GX. The Civic GX, first introduced in 1998, is the cleanest internal combustion vehicle certified by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency). It was the first Advanced Technology Partial-Zero Emissions Vehicle (AT-PZEV) from Honda.

The ACEEE's ranking system uses a remarkable gauge that incorporates fuel economy, health-related pollution impacts, and global warming emissions. All vehicles are analyzed and given a "Green Score" which is used to rank a vehicle's total environmental performance.

2010 Honda Fit

2010 Honda Accord

The hugely popular Honda Fit will become even more fuel-efficient soon! Price Honda is pleased to announce that Honda is all set to release a hybrid-electric version of the Fit, to hit American showroom floors by the fall of 2010.

A five-door, five-passenger hatchback, the all new Fit Hybrid would sport an exterior look similar to that of the FCX Clarity and would be available at an affordable price, according to Honda, a year and a half ahead of schedule. A new 1-liter-class engine is being developed for the new Fit Hybrid, and reports indicate that it would be sold for a considerably low price. The new Fit Hybrid, expected to take the formidable Toyota Prius head on, would presumably deliver a better fuel economy thanks to its lighter and more powerful batteries than the current nickel-metal hydride variety.

Meanwhile, the gas-powered Fit, equipped with a five-speed automatic transmission and a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, has already earned the reputation of being one of the more fuel-efficient vehicles on US roads with an EPA data showing 27 mpg in city driving and 33 mpg on the highway. Honda projects to sell 100,000 Fit Hybrids in North American market.

The new advancements in technology and production systems would significantly reduce the Fit Hybrid's cost, which would make hybrid technology ''available to one and all at affordable prices,'' the automaker says. Without a doubt, the Honda lineup will be even more ''fit''with the addition of this new hybrid. Visit Price Honda for details on the new Fit Hybrid.
