Heck, I'd chip in $10 . . . then we'd only need 34 others like me!

But if we spend $350, would we be able to download or save any of it?

That's the $350 question . . . which needs to be answered by someone more savvy than I . . .

I haven't been able to find that $350 deal online. I wanted to read about it.

You mean Honda Service Express? They do show availability of all service manuals for the 2015 Fit, but only via subscription.

I have some EX-L parts I bought that I need to eventually get around to installing on my EX, and will probably do a one-day subscription ($20) to see how things come apart as well as get a feel for how thorough their materials are and whether it's worth the spend in the first place.

For half the price, I'd go with the $10/day. The only difference is "advanced search capabilities" for twice the price. It would be nice if they showed a sample. If I can't print it, it's worthless.

EDIT: Did you notice, in the red box at the bottom, "Please note: Integrated Service Information System (ISIS) is now Service Information System." I guess ISIS wasn't a good name for their product.

The alternative is to pay $350 for one year of online access - not very practical. Hopefully, Haynes will have something. I looked just now, and they have nothing for any year Fit.

I always got manuals with my cars, and it made it so much easier taking things apart and making repairs. Obviously, these manuals exist, since Honda uses them. Could it be that they want us to bring our cars to them for service and repair? What a shocking idea!
I've had no luck as well trying to find a service manual. Not that I am going to do an engine job, but I like to know more about details of the Fit if I ever need too.

Only thing I have found is a parts look up that at least gives us a breakdown

Yes, Bernardi has some good info, but taking things apart without diagrams can be tricky. I guess Honda figured losing sales of the manuals would be compensated by the extra work we would pay them to do. I'm not paying them anything, though.
