it's not exactly high rev, but it gets its job done.. (which is fuel economy)

 

I went to the dealership intending to buy a Civic Si Coupe, but test drove a Fit out of curiosity while I was there. Ended up buying the Fit Sport M/T. It's just more fun to drive. I've only had it a month and a half, but would still make the same decision.

I like the performance of the 5-speed -- absolutely no problems merging into highway traffic. But I test drove an automatic (for the wife's sake), and it was okay too. I could have lived with it, but really wanted a manual.
