Q's? about the Fit...

[LevelSevenCivic]

I went to the dealership today to look at the Fit (and some used cars). The salesman wanted to talk to me... I humored him...
We got to talking about the features on the Fit and he said something that completely threw me. He said that the Fit has an optional sun roof for the Sport version. Now... I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer but, It seems to me that it would behoove Honda to put that feature on their site. I know salesmen tend to talk out their asses 99% of the time and so I come to you with this question...
Does the Fit have a sunroof for the Sport model?

Is the throttle by wire system in the Fit responsive? Though I'm leaning toward the 5MT, how responsive are the paddle shifters? Do they have the same horrendous lag as most 4/5AT?

Thanks lots!

Nope, none of the N. American Fit's came with sunroof


What the Sport Model has the LX doesn't:
15" Alloys
Black Interior
Body-coloured rear roofline spoiler
Body-coloured underbody spoilers
Front fog lights (option)
200 Watt AM/FM/CD with WMA/Mp3-Compatible Audio (6 speakers)
Cruise control
Leather-wrapped steering wheel
Keyless remote entry (accessory)
Security alarm system (accessory)

i can attest to the paddle shifted auto... (i have a tsx)

pure crap...

if people get manumatics, they might as well never shift to manual mode...
they're slow, never shift when you want them to, etc. etc. etc...

not to mention in cars like the fit, it totally dumbs down the fun to drive quotient...

stick shifts in small cars all the way!

the fit is not fast if ur looking for any type of power. with the money ur gonna spend on it...ur better off payin a lil more and gettin a ex civic or Si.

paddle shifters are fun cuz u can drive auto when u want....and if u feeling like shiftin u can switch to manual mod and not worry about fuckin up ur transmission. depends on wut u want the car for.
