Bought 2 new 15 Fit EXs
So we finally replaced the wife's 2007 Fit Sport 5mt last week. After 7 years and 115,000 miles it was time for a upgrade.
Working for Honda as a service writer I couldn't pass up a great price to replace the wife's ride. We got a silver EX 6mt for her, and she loves it.
Dealership also had a black EX auto and I said what the heck, I wanted one as well. Had to do CVT due to left leg surgery not permitting me to do a lot of manual shifting.
Love both cars with the exception of a couple of minor quibbles.
1) No Sirius/XM without navi. Really Honda?? Was it so expensive to add the receiver? If so why not at least give me the option to add it? Would have gotten my money for it as an accessory...before you mention a roadie type of receiver I prefer a clean integrated look so no go.
2) No leather wrap steering wheel without it being a EX-L. Not a deal breaker to me as I ordered a Si leather one with the red stitching and at my cost it's still affordable, but dam the non leather material on the wheel feels like super cost cutting...
3) Apple fanboyism at its finest. Doesn't really support Android. With a expensive a$$ connection cable to boot if you want to take advantage of its full features.
4) Navi App... I paid $60 for this crap?? Really??....Will seek removal and refund from Apple on this one, nothing further needs to be said...
These are minor quibbles to be sure and the steering one will be resolved easily and fairly cheaply enough but quibbles nonetheless.

Wow, i think you're the first to purchase two 2015 Fits. Grats on the pickups.
Can you post pics and a write-up when you get the Si wheel on? I'm interested to see how that goes and if the steering wheel buttons and airbag will still work.

I too would like to see this. I miss the leather wrapped wheel on my 09 Fit.
"SilverEX15" purchased two as well....a black one and a silver one.
As far as the steering wheel goes my research (read me looking at a Si wheel vs a Fit Ex-L wheel) they are identical in size, control placement and airbag shape. Only difference is my paddle shifters and that is transferable. Si steering wheel arrives tomorrow/Thursday and my tech will install for me. I will post unboxing, install and completion pics when it's done. Might even do a "how to" write up as well. Been a while since I wrote one....
Hmmm... I thought I've recently read all the original poster's (15BlkPrl) recent posts ( < = Feb 2015) and did not see any mention of FIT sales. I sent Rodney a PM for more info and have not heard back... Would be interesting to hear the reasons.
