Back in a Fit (2018 Sport Content)

I had a MR 2007 Fit Sport 5spd I bought new in 2006, had it for several years ended up trading it in for an Si.

10+ years and several other cars later, Im back in a Fit! 2018 Sport MR 6spd manual.

VS the 1st gen, this car is significantly more refined, interior is quite a bit nicer. And of course CarPlay is great! Getting it tinted, HFP mats, and maybe the armrest soon. Cheers fellow Fit freaks!

Congrats! I also have the HFP floor mats but removed them on the first day in favor for the all weather high wall ones. Please post if you get the Center console cause I was thinking of getting that as well.

You mean they still make manual transmissions? Last manual Fit I saw at my local dealer was the one I bought three years ago, and they had to search all over the state to find it.

How much did you pay for your Fit? I am looking to buy one now. Howdy Honda in Austin TX is asking 17,500 + tt&l for a 2018 Aegean Blue Fit Sport MT. Is this a good deal ya'll ??
My current ride is an alabaster silver metallic 2013 Civic Si coupe with 40,000 miles. I am the original owner and will not be parting with it. its too good to let go..
Plans for the Fit would be Swift springs, RV6 downpipe, k&n filter, and 190/50-16 tires.

16,999 + TTL and I got a VERY aggressive $ on my trade.

This was literally the only MR manual Sport within 200mi of me. Happy that MR was my first color choice LOL.


So far have added tint, RSX-S shift knob, red HFP mats, and swapped some Hankook tires in place of the stock Firestones. I have the HFP suspension sitting in my living room waiting as well.

My salesman actually found one on the lot when I bought our '15 CPO a coiple years ago, but they didn't know they had it. Was underwhelmed with the CVT ....I hate 'em, basically...was about done perusing the lot and he happened to peek into a black LX that, lo and behold, had the manual ....took it for a test drive, went back next day and test drove it again, and it was a done deal. Love this snotty lil thing

You'll love the HFP springs. Have them on my Si. Also have the HASPORT rear motor mount and Acuity shifter bushings. Totally tranforms the car into a sweet driver.
