Fit Sport in Canada

I have a question about the Fit Sport that's in Canada.
I know that the Sport in the US comes with paddle shifters as standard, however when I went to see the Sport model today...there were no paddle shifters...

So...are there paddle shifters for the Fit Sport in Canada (to be more specific, Toronto) or was it discontinued?

We get the USB.

What we also get that the US version doesn't, are heated mirrors (I think), and windshield washer fluid indicator (quite handy!!).

Yeah we definitely get the heated mirrors. Not that it's really a needed feature.

honda screwed canada. you wonder exactly how they made their decisions.

little things make a big difference. maps lights, to me anyway, are extremely handy. i used mine frequently.

and the paddle shifters, whether used for the fun of it or for practical purposes make the car more enjoyable to own.

obviously honda was very climate conscious with their canadian fits.... but some portions of the united states have canadian-like winters. heated mirrors and wiper fluid level indicators shouldnt be included at the expense of paddle shifters and map lights, IMO.

Heated mirrors are definitely a good feature to have in the winter. Trust me, my MX-5 doesn't have it and you'll appreciate it all the more when you don't have it.

Side note: How much are you guys getting off MSRP nowadays? Any good deals you've come across? Looking to get a Fit. Thanks!
