I love hearing the exhaust note when you downshift. Should be even better with a CBE/HFC

i drove my other Fit which is AT to work today. i cant ever see myself enjoying AT other than at night, laid back and just cruise with good music in the background in my area. 90% of the roads here are straight and flat. it would be too much just a transportation device for me.

as mentioned in other threads if there are canyons i would probably get a AT on the Z but will also have a S2K in my arsenal.

Very rarely use it full auto. I used to be annoyed by the accidental double down shifts, but after using it in manual mode so much, it rarely happens.
