My friend got a sport with the 5spd. It handled really nice, but it was way underpowered. I suppose 5 people in a fit will make it reaaaal slow. I never really got to give it a run with less people.

On the flip side, it comfortably fit 5 people with weekend gear for a ~5 hr drive. It wasn't geared too well for the highway... i remember being @ almost 4k RPM @ 70... my accord is more like 2900 @ 70. Small gas tank, too. It got similar milage to my Accord on the highway (right around 33).

It's perfect for a city commuter. Parallel parking is a breeeeeeeeeze. Real versatile too. I'd rock one to cruise around the city. I'd probably rather get a used mini cooper S before the fit though.
