One of my high school friends had a Chevette. Most underpowered car I have ever ridden in. Loaded semi-trucks passed us going up hills.
I was a city commuter, with maybe a trip to the Outer Banks once or twice per year. Was probably not very good for someone who did a lot of freeway or long distance driving.
We have a Honda Fit now, and I thought it was going to be similar. Frankly, I liked the Chevette a lot better.
