ok, i am in... 15' EX 6MT white

i got a bug up my a55 a week ago for the new GK fit. called around and spoke to a bunch of dealers, and today i picked mine up. 2015 Fit EX white orchid 6MT.





traded in my stripper 12' kia rio. 150 miles this afternoon, and so far so good, but i have a host of work to do to get the car where it "clicks" with me.

Congrats on your purchase. That white looks beautiful on that car. Surprised you were able to get your hands on a manual tranny one.....a white one at that.

MY04 Ap2 has been my daily for the last 3 years & love it, can't wait for my EX 6MT to show up. You hold down the east coast with your white girls and I got the west coast handled. Genius color & car combo if I must say so. how are you liking the gearbox in the FIT so far? I'm planning on a countersunk knob until a short shifter gets released.

I'm jealous. I had to wait weeks for my M/T, but I'm still happy for you.

i tried a few diff knobs that i had at the house (CR, moddiction weighted and custom delrin ball) and i am content with the stock knob for now.

Awesome ride! I'm in Stewartsville, most likely pretty close to you. I'm waiting on my white ex 6spd to show up, hopefully within the next few days. Glad to see some pics and see how good it really looks in white

Having both a manual and a CVT it's no contest. The manual is hands down more fun to drive. Shifter is like all Honda shifters, direct and easy to shift.

clutch take up is light, but easy to read.

shifter is very crisp for a cable actuated unit. it is no s2000 shifter, but it is nicer then most.

gearing is short, especially 2nd gear. the car seems to make more noise than others in the category.
