I don't how this car can be ugly.

I don't know you can call this car a joke when it does so well as a budget car.

Unless you just have a thing against all Japanese cars in general.

Nope, nothing agains Japanese cars in general, but that thing is ugly. Tall, unproportioned, it looks like you're driving a phone booth down the road. The design may be brilliant as far as function goes but the form looks like something a kindergarten class put together.

Well I don't know if you've ever seen one before but my opinion differs on how it looks. I actually think it looks rather sleek (it's barely higher than the Phaeton is). Unproportioned, I can agree with that, but you can't expect everything with a tight budget, yeah?

I still think the Fit deserved that award.

Best car for being good at what it is supposed to be... A budget car. Perhaps they took a car from each segment or something.

I think the MX-5 offers a good experience for a budget roadster. After all, it's the world's best selling roadster. Can't go wrong with that.

The 300C shouldn't be in that list.

C&D is usually so performance biased, I am surprised they picked the slow Honda Fit. Even if it isn't a sports car, C&D will usually tear cars like this apart.

The 300C should have been on the last list, but not this one. I agree, it's nothing special anymore. A nice decent car, but nothing revolutionary or improved about it these days.

Ah, I never knew about them being performance biased. Perhaps they changed their formula?

Trust me, they still are.
