Driving Ergonomics

Can someone confirm if the driver's seat is 6 way adjustable?
I'm assuming all steering wheels are telescopic...,but what about parascopic?
Are the side mirrors a fairly decent size?
Is the rear view mirror a fairly decent size?
What about the throws on the MT? long, short, average?

-I dont know if the driver's say is adjustable up/down.
-Most steering wheels actually are tilt, NOT telescopic. I believe the Fit steering wheel only tilts.
-Dont know about the mirrors, but I dont see why they would be any different than any other Honda.

Check out the full test at Edmunds.com:

Here's what they said about the shifter:

"A huge favorite of ours was the meaty feel and action of the manual shifter. The action is precise, well defined and pleasing. The Fit Sport is also available with a five-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters that we drove briefly at a press event. Thanks to the non-sequential drive-by-wire throttle control, the automatic almost seemed to have more zip than the manual."

Side mirros provide good visiblilty and the stick it a short tight throw, it's a sweet stick. Seat moves to the front and back only. Rear view mirror is of average size.

Awesome! Honda and BMW are known to have one of the best driver oriented feel clutches and shifting in the car business quoted by many automotive journalist and critics.

The wheel only has tilt. The mirrors are not huge but certainly as large as needed and well positioned. (the power mirrors are a great option - especially when the car has two drivers) and the rear view lets you see the entire rear of the car. I have found the only thing I may change is to remove the rear headrests when no one is in the backseat.
