Differences between 2nd Gen models

Can someone explain what the different models are for the 2nd generation fits? Is it just a sport and a regular.

Also, does 2nd gen have bluetooth? Does it have the same dashboard as 1st gen? My first gen does not have bluetooth, and doesn't have a screen or camera.

Thank you

Regular and Sport.

Sport Autos have paddle shifters

All sports have a rear spoiler

None of these cars came standard with bluetooth. Swapping headunits makes the car more manageable for daily driving with bluetooth.

2nd Gen dashboard is different than 1st gen

2nd Gen fit sports with Navi was the highest trim level offered in the USA

All correct. Sport got paddles, fog lights, alloys, nicer steering wheel. Mechanically mostly identical.

There was a normal midcycle refresh for 12-13. A tiny bit more content mostly interior color tweaks.

there is no 2014 Fit.

In Canada:
- Sport didn't come with the paddle shifters;
- Sport did come with bluetooth;
- No TPMS sensors on all GE8 Fits;
- We have a 2014 GE8 (same as 2013 model).

I have a Canadian 2013 Fit Sport, Orange, Manual.

We had no Navi option in Canada (thankfully)
No paddles (I have a manual)
Mine has bluetooth, but it ONLY works for calls, you can't listen to music with it. Yeah, it's really dumb
USB in upper glove box for i-devices only. My ipod classic works on it, I have no idea if new iphones work on it. Last time I had someone use it, they had an iPhone 5
AUX thankfully, and my phone does indeed has a headphone jack. ( I have a nice set of Focals )
No TPMS thankfully
Vehicle Stability control as a Sport specific feature as well. Believe it or not, that wasn't a standard feature. Saved my biscuit a few times in the snowy BC Interior winters with how tail happy the Fit is. Turns off with traction control, great for Autocross and e-brakes in parking lots heh.


By "1st" and "2nd "gen... are you talking about GE8 1st and 2nd gen? Or GD vs GE. The GE was a complete redesign of the GD. They share basically nothing other than basic design. The GE8 had a facelift in 2012, from what I can tell Canada didn't get the changes until 2013 like mine. I mean exterior changes of course, but interior seems the same, just a few colour differences. I actually LOVE my brown roof, its neat. We had GE8s until 2014. 2015 the GKs came out.
