Overall Rating
Honda Shuttle:
The Honda Fit Shuttle is a subcompact car which was made by Honda from May 2011 until August 2022 over two generations. A Japanese domestic market model, the Shuttle is a five-door station wagon derived from the Fit. The first generation served as successor the Airwave, also derived from the Fit. The second generation entered production in April 2015. The Fit Shuttle has a front-mounted engine and either front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with petrol engined and petrol-electric hybrid variants....(Read more on Wikipedia)
I Overview:
Honda Shuttle (I). With 206 Nm of torque, it offers ample pulling power. It has moderate fuel consumption (~11.2 l/100km). With a weight of 1580 kg, it falls in the mid‑range. Front‑wheel drive delivers efficiency and easy handling. A spacious vehicle designed to transport passengers comfortably, often with sliding doors. Seating for 5 makes it ideal for daily use.
The first generation Honda Shuttle (also known as Odyssey in some markets) was produced before Euro NCAP began its testing in 1997, and as such, it does not have an official Euro NCAP safety rating.
2.3 16V (150 Hp) Verdict:
Performance Verdict
Offers adequate power for daily driving and highway cruising, though the 4-speed automatic transmission can feel somewhat dated. Not built for speed, but capable for family transport with a decent 150 Hp.
Fuel Economy
Fuel consumption is typical for a mid-90s petrol minivan of this size, with urban figures around 11.2 l/100 km. It's not particularly efficient by modern standards but acceptable for its era.

- • Excellent Honda reliability and durability

Cons:
