Smile Hi Im New And Had a Question!

What Up!
I just joined this forum a minute ago!
Names Jimmy, I do not own a fit however My Bro does in China
and well heres the ?' I have
My dad is actually looking for a fit to buy,
He saw the new ones and started questioning me about it all.
Sadly I don't know much about these yet lol which is why I figured I would join the forum!

What are the options and what is the best Fit to get? as far as for a 60yr old male who is getting to and from work only,
Does fit offer any nice options?

hanks in advance!

The options are pretty limited. You have a choice of two models here in the states, the Base Fit and the Sport. The Sport adds paddle shifters (on the automatic), map lights, fog lights, 16 inch alloys, "spoiler", and body side moldings. The only thing "sporty" about it that isn't just looks is an added rear anti-roll bar.

There's a navigation option if you get the sport automatic.

And that's it. It's mostly a looks thing, both have the same engines and drive-trains. Oh, besides the paddle shifters on the automatic Sport, it's programmed to shift slightly more aggressively (less MPG), but the manual Sport is identical to the Base.

Its part of the rear torsion beam assembly, rather than being a separate part.

Several companies do make aftermarket rear antiroll bars that will bolt right on. I'm looking at the one that Progress makes myself to put into my 2012 Sport in addition to the one already built in to the suspension:
