I just bought a 2009 Fit Sport and the 5th gear and top speed seem to be very sluggish. I seem to have troubles pushing the car past 85mph... I was wondering if this is normal (just want to make sure I didnt get a lemon)? Also what top speeds are you guys encountering.

 

I think the fastest I've gone in mine so far is about 73.

The GD3s' top speed of 118 was recorded I think by Car and Driver. The GE8s should easily top that given the huge top end power advantage, more slippery shape and -1 narrower tires.

 

I've gotten my GD3 Sport Auto to 110. It took about 10 seconds from 60 mph, but the car didn't seem to be struggling at all.

 

2009 SPORT AT 60 mph = 1900 RPM
80 mph = 2800 rpm
100 mph = 3500 rpm NOT 4000

Its about the same for me. Ok I guess its just im use to a little more juice at the higher end. I will have to wait for a supercharger for the 2009 fit sport AT to add more to the high end. I would be very happy with a +30HP boost.

 

I have a Sport AT
I have had mine at 100 and it did not seem sluggish at all.

 

Is your engine broken in?

 

is the ratio that different b/w auto and manual? im almost at 4k going 80.

 

Yes, the manual will be about 1000+ rpm's higher cruising on the highway.
