Hi!
First post here! Will be actively shopping for a Fit Sport this week, I love these things!

I'm looking at a 2009 or newer.

If you look at the options list on Wikipedia, you get the following:

As of the 2011 model year, the base Fit comes with a remote entry, 15-inch wheels with covers, power windows, power locks, cruise control, a tilt and telescoping steering wheel, a 160-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with four speakers, a USB audio interface, a 12-volt power outlet, and other features. The Fit Sport adds a ground appearance package, 16-inch (410 mm) alloy wheels, paddle shifters, a navigation system, a security system, fog lights, chrome exhaust finisher, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, floor mats, a 6-speaker AM/FM/CD audio system, and other features.

I'm trying to figure out what on that list wasn't standard on a 2009 or 2010 Fit Sport. Based on browsing listings, it seems there really wasn't much of a change in options, but I figured I'd ask the experts.

Thank you.

 

I have a 2011 Sport. It did not come with navigation and steering wheel audio controls. They were available as an option.

I'm not sure what was standard on the 2009-2010.

I have a 2010 Fit Sport-- the Navigation system was on the more expensive "Sport with Navi" model IMO, not worth the $2000 extra cost at the time. Garmin has served me just fine.
The 2011 regular sport might come with VSA traction as standard- it only came on the Navi model on 2009 & 2010.

 

The more modest change in features would be 09-11 vs. 12-13.

 

I just want to make sure that the "basic" stuff was included on the sport and not an add-on for the 2009 and 2010 model years such as:

power windows
power locks
keyless entry
cruise control
tilt and telescoping steering wheel

And the "would be nice" ones:

paddle shifters
steering wheel audio controls
12 volt outlet

USB audio interface
leather-wrapped steering wheel

 

I'm not 100% positive, but most of the options you want will be on the sport model without nav. Your "would be nice" options are there, with the exception of the steering wheel audio controls. If I recall, those only came with the nav system.

 

That's good news. Steering wheel audio controls would be cool, but it's a tiny car after all, so I can just reach over and turn the knob.

I'm not going to go for the NAV, factory nav in ANY car is a bit "lacking" in my opinion and if I really want to add it later, the aftermarket options are much more interesting anyway.

 

Also no BT unless sport w/nav. I love the b/t and b/t streaming in my 13' sport nav. wouldn't have bought anything else. I'm tired of buying decks to then trade my car 2-3yr later.

 

I do not know of any real difference in the 09 to 11

There are some subtle changes in the 12-13 vs the 09-11 but if you plan on adding Mugen accessories there are some parts that are not available for the 12-13 but they are available for the 09-11

 

It's all good - this is exactly what I wanted to hear!

I wasn't searching for it, but I ended up with factory nav in my last 2 vehicles, 3Series BMW and Toyota 4Runner.

Both were ...... fine, but both left a lot to be desired. If I come across one with nav I'll pull the trigger, but if not I'm fine either dealing without it or adding an aftermarket unit.

I have Friday off to go and test a couple out. Wish me luck.

Thanks for the help.

 

I would actually suggest not getting a navigation model and adding one yourself like I did:

The factory navigation is a tad outdated and the aftermarket options are much more robust for 1/4th the price

 

I have the 2010 Sport (not navi) and it comes with all of these features EXCEPT for steering wheel audio controls. Not sure about the 12 volt outlet- there is a plug in outlet (like the old cigarette lighters) I use it for my Garmin. There is also a usb connection in the glove box for an ipod or flash drive. There is an "AUX" input on the radio to connect devices that won't work on the usb.

 

looks like VSA traction control was added to the 2011 model-- it was only available on the Sport with Navi models in the 2009 & 2010 models

Ahh! That makes sense.

Not a big deal for me, this car will see little to no action in the snow here in Charlotte.

Thanks for the info. Found a couple I'm going to look at on Friday.

 

there are a lot of little thing that Honda did different between 09-10 vs 11+, You should be fine as long as you go with a Sport or Sport Nav. and Not the Base model which will not have all the thing your looking for, but you can add all those thing.
