The Mazda3 is an excellent choice- versatile hatchback layout, standard 2.0L engine has more than sufficient power and it has fuel economy right up there with the Fit.]
The Kia Forte5 and Hyundai Elantra GT are also worth a look.

You didn't state this as a reason you like the Fit but I assume it's spacious interior / driving height is one of the reasons you like it.
The Kia Soul could fit you needs. Similar boxy styling to the fit but available with a 2.0 ltr 4 cylinder. Biggest let down is highway fuel economy due to the boxy shape.
The Ford C-max ( not the energi) is another good option. It's lively for a hybrid and more spacious than an fit.
If a manual is an option you look for a previous gen Hyundai Elanta touring. Avoid the slow automatic.

With limit of $16,000 you could buy a brand new Buick Encore. It will be better riding, quieter, offering a near-luxury experience in a small package than anything in the aegment. It offers about 48 cu ft of cargo but fold flat the front passenger's seat for 8 foot items or almost 60 cu ft of cargo space. And unlike the Fit or other sedans offers AWD.
