A damn shame they're not readily available in 2016. The Honda dealer I bought mine from has 35 Fit, not one manual transmission.
I agree. One of the best manual gearboxes I've ever used. I feel sorry for those who have missed the experience.

I ordered my 16 EX-L Navi knobless 6M in Feb and got it in April. So far, absolutely no problems with this car. And I drive the snot out of it, just like i did my 12 Civic SI. I do have the same "quality" problems as others, such as misaligned hatch, hood, front bumper, dash, but otherwise.....

I just can't believe how much money I sank into the 2.4L Civic, now that I see just how cheap it can be to have a brand new car. Love it. Basically, you could call this car the Fit Sport. A miniature Luxury car....... I have also tested capacity, and the sideways Mountain Bike between the seats. It freakin FITS.

Hands down the successor to the 1993-1995 Civic Hatchback, only better!

I have no misaligned anything, and I drive this car like my friend's 944.

Last weekend I threw it into a corner to edge out a BMW, and I was almost in shock how it popped out the other side with no effort. It's a joy of a car to throw around.

cycling humming and vibration when I drive it over 70-80mph
I have been told that only way to fix it is to replace the CVT!

Just to keep this in context.... I wonder if this is in any way related to the fact that this vehicle was heavily vandalized and a salvage? Perhaps they really thrashed it around for a few days.

anyway I had to remove the gas pipe to clean is and put it back, I took some pictures and share it with you, it might help you to do other maintenance.

New cars just aren't built all that well IMO. I just dumped a 2016 WRX because of quality issues. Luckily I sold it for $1000 less than what I purchased it for. It has two turbo intake tubes replaced. One was a recall, then the replacement from the recall destroyed itself. Then the pressure plate failed so they replaced every piece of the clutch assembly. Not two weeks later the replacement clutch went poof. Subaru service is like dealing with a hungry 3 year old so I sold the car and bought an S2k to replace it as my fun car.

I test drove a new fit while I was searching for cars and just wasn't impressed with the build quality. I don't know how they could let that car get through their QC compared to how other cars are built in their lineup.
