Hi guys,

First post here. I am interested in buying a new 2010 Fit Sport with manual if I can find one at a reasonable price. But there seem to be very few of them -- as in maybe three -- for sale here in Florida, so the dealers are asking over MSRP. Hard to believe in a recession, but I'm no expert.

Any suggestions? I'd like to buy a Fit , but not if it's excessively pricey.

I couldn't find one either when I was looking in April of 08

 

Well, that shows that it isn't just me. Sheesh. For a company that doesn't even make the Civic Si in auto, you would think they could at least make some more manual Fits.

Not sure what my next move is though. I called Honda and they said the dealers get their allocations once a year and that's it.

 

Yup, I had to go to three different dealerships to find a 5-speed, they only had a base model. But when I told the sales person I wanted to test drive it, he said they didn't have any manuals and was floored when I showed him the car! I didn't even bother trying to find a manual Sport, I'm happy with the base

 

Do you have any sense of whether the base is less agile than the Sport model? Looks like it has a slightly different suspension and smaller wheels.

Also, am I correct in understanding the base doesn't include a clicker? Can't remember the last time I turned the key to open a car door!

 

The bas has smaller, narrower wheels so it will not corner as well, and i do not think it has a clicker.... why would honda build to few MT Fits? although when i bought the Fit lack of an MT probably would not be a deal breaker... after learning MT i will not switch of to AT until i am physically unable to drive stick....

 

also the the sport has rear sway bar. base does not have remote locking that comes standard. I believe the base tire height is actually taller than the sport and is the cause of a slightly softer ride.

 

We did the definitive differences thread just one week ago. Pay attention!

 

The base fit is basically prewired for the keyless--do a search and you'll find instructions for it.

 

We have 2 in stock. Golden Colorado. White and Orange

 

@Stevens24: Heh, I have a friend in Denver who has offered me to come visit. Maybe I should fly out there and drive home. Or, I don't suppose you can ship UPS?
