If you're looking for a cheap and reliable used car, there are several choices out there. But perhaps one of the best cars that match this description is the Honda Fit. Well, the second generation model. You see, the original Fit had sort of a leakage problem. It plagued many owners and was very uncharacteristic of Honda's typical top notch build quality. This issue alone didn't make the Fit a bad car, but Honda got its act together with the second-gen model.

The guys at Regular Car Reviews, proud owners of Silicon Sally, referred to James May's comment about this car: The Fit is what the Civic was. That couldn't be more spot on.
