I have 09 honda fit sport at with navi. Its been a great car, it can hold a ton of stuff with the seats folded down. The difference between this and the 1st gen to me is night and day, my sister has a frist gen, and it just doesnt seem as nice. My suggestion would be to get the manual if you want to keep the fun factor higher, the paddle shifters are nice, but they dont compete with a real manual.
