I love my 2010 Honda Jazz (called Fit in the US). Small, can carry loads of weirdly shaped stuff, roomy enough for two adults and two kids, unbreakable. And on summer holidays I rent a roof box for about €100/week so I can fit all our luggage.

I have a 2016 Fit and had a first generation Fit before that. They are the most reliable cars I've ever had. I'm a fan of the Toyota Yaris too. It's such a shame they were discontinued.

  My first car was a 1999 Yaris, bought in 2014 for €1,250 with 320K on the odometer. Shifting gears sometimes took some force but otherwise drove like a dream...and the "holographic" gauge-screen-thingy was brilliant. Oh, and the back bench which you could slide backwards and forwards to choose between trunk space or leg room! The best thing is, I sold it in 2016 with 400K on the odometer for €1,000...likely it's still chugging along nicely as we speak :-)

  The Honda fit 2016 is my first car, and only car. I can't imagine getting another car. It's just too good!

I'm in the market for my next car (new or used), and I'd prefer something small like the fit/jazz. But I have 3 kids instead of 2, which seems like my only options from the last decade are MPVs or SUVs. I'd love to be wrong, though.

  The back bench of my Jazz easily fits three kids (and had three seatbelts) comfortably for normal trips.

    Good to know, thanks! I'll check it out

  Had a similar problem car shopping to replace a 10-year-old Fit recently. Kia Rio can do it with tighter leg room, but lacks the Fit's fold-down seats if you want to swap kids for cargo, and has also been discontinued going forward. Chevy Sonic and Bolt/Volt hatches could squeeze theee in the back too, and the Sonic had the fold-down rear seats, but it's been discontinued since 2020 and the Volt and Bolt are in limbo. Wound up unhappy with a larger, harder to park Subaru Impreza that in practice gets 15-20mpg less than the Fit, which also still sold used for $11k(!).
