I bought an o9fit at but wish I woulda got a mt is it able to be changed out anyone know the cost or if the dealer can do it or should I just tuff it out and get mt next time on a second thought anyone know if the paddle shifters can be added to a base?

 

that is alot of money wasted to convert, better off waiting for someone to trade

 

That's what I was afrade of any clue about Adding the paddle shifters

 

You could go back to the dealer and go upside down with what you owe (assuming that your making payments) and pick out the fit that you actually want.

i don't know much about adding paddle shifters, but you'd probably have to add tranny sensors, and the shfiter with the sport mode, and probably a whole new steering wheel with the paddles. finding them used would take forever, and new is costly.

for all that you might as well do a 5 spd swap which is cake..but the hardest part is sourcing the parts. unless ur down with buying new from honda.

 

I think this means I need to hurry up and finish paying this one off then get another one lol

 

I agree with the above. Stick it out unless you really need a manual. It would probably be cheaper to go upside down on the loan (or take the hit on trade if you owe less than the car is worth) and get a new fit than to do either of the two options above. If you are in an area with lots of fits and a few junkyards, you might be able to find parts... but still not for cheap.

Keeeeeep it. Trade at a later date

 

Completely random but how about trading it in for a 6MT CR-Z.

 

Buy a second one.

I went out last year looking for something new. I drive a Caravan in excellent shape low mileage etc. Ended up with the Fit. Kept the Caravan. The Fit is my real expensive toy now.

Aaah retirement is great.

 

I don't normaly like imports lol idk y but I love my fit I just wish I got mt but the crz dose look like it would e fun to drive but if I traded the fit it would probly be twords a camera or charger lol

 

Check out the inventory of local dealers for a used 09 with a MT or paddle shifters and see how a trade would work out. Alternatively, see how much more you would need to pay a month for a 10 model with the options you want. It may be like $20 a month extra, which isn't much more, if you really want certain options.

 

Would that be a Kodak "Camera" ?

 

Just keep your fit. Wait till you have enough cash flow to get a sport coupe like a 370z so you can get that in a mt. I think the fit is a perfect small family(early family w/small child) and cargo hauler. I'm planning on keeping my fit till it dies. Ill have an addition of a pure weekender in a couple of years(GTR hopefully) so I won't have to tune it.

 

My thought exactly OEMfit! If you want a MT see what your dealer will do for ya when the CR-Z's come into the states.
