I just bought an '08 mt sport and couldn't be happier. The Fit replaced my '02 Neon that fought the back end of a 3/4 ton truck and lost. I went from a dull boring commuter car to an actual fun to drive commuter that gets better gas mileage. So far a low of 35 while driving like a kid (I'm 44) to a high of 39 while driving like a....well 44.
No idea what the hp/tq numbers were for the Neon but I think the Fit has more pep. It seems everybody gripes about lack of power but it seems to scoot along just fine. It maintains 70mph on hills that bogged down my Neon and it has no problems keeping up with traffic when the light turns green. I have no doubts it would smoke my old car.
I threw in some of the all season floor mats as the carpet doesn't seem like it's going to hold up. I carry a lot of tools (commercial electrician) in the back and plan to pick up the rear mat later this week. I did pick up the tonue (sp) cover to hide my tools etc as there is no trunk. The cover was a 10 second install. The all season floor mats require the carpet to be cut and seemed a little hokey. I just laid them in without the attachments and called it good.
In addition to what is stated below the sport also gives you cruise control.
