the f-king magazine spec racer types that have no money but pretend to talk cars and feel like a race car driver with mickymouse levers!

i asked my wife if she ever used it. she said no. lol the only time i use is downshifting with a slight blip to rev-match. but still, once it's in the lower gear the torque converter just slips to a sloppy ugly mess.

Have you driven any civics around the same year? I wanna know why they didnt just keep the same tranny... and also for an econo car and its size, AND lack of power I feel the MPG on the fit leaves something to be desired...

i had a 8th gen civic sedan EX before and it was AT. the AT on that sucked just as bad, but no paddles. at least the seating position was good and it was actually a pretty decent car.

i traded that in and got the MT FitSport. the MT fit is night/day different and actually fun to drive. but EVERYTHING IS IN SLOW MOTION!

I did say that to myself that if it were an MT I would at least be able to tolerate it.. I mean I had a better time driving my other cousins daewoo than the fit.. At least his is an MT though

yep, the Fit has to be had in MT to be enjoyable. the reason i sold it was the seating position. i tolerated it while my younger kid went from infant to toddler, but once he was able to get in/out of the car on his own i sold the Fit and just been using my G.

G's great on sunny days and all but when it was pouring one time my passenger door got drenched while i was buckling up the younger kid and it was not good. thus i want to get a winter dd and winter beater/grocery getter.
