Considering a Fit

Hey all, I'm considering a Fit and have test drove some and I have some questions that I hope everyone can help me with.

Will choose the MT over the AT.

I test drove the 2009 and 2008, the 2009 felt weaker and looser than the 2008 one. The clutch, steering and handling wasn't as firm, is that right? I don't wanna start any model year wars, just does the 2009 Fit firm up after being broken in?

Thanks in advance.

the 09's are more like a regular folk's car vs the 07-08's where
it is more of a driver's car.

does that make sense?

but if you're going to get a new car, get the 09's. my 08's
great, but my 09 comes with a better package, including
the new stereo with USB, telescopic steering wheel, seats,
etc. etc.

Thanks, I ended up getting a 2008 Fit Sport in black. Was used with 5600 miles for 14900.
