I LOVE MY FIT !!!
It's perfect. I bit soft when the AC is blasting, but otherwise what a great little car.
The stick/clutch is ubersmooth but I have made shavings once or twice looking for 6th gear in the Fit's 5 speed box.
Just a smooth, solid, well built car.

As much as I want to get Sarah into a car with a stick, I've been mulling it over, and I've come to the conclusion that it is beneficial to have one vehicle in the fleet with a slushbox (not to be confused with an Aaslush).
I'm just one bad day from wrecking my knee again, and then it'll be no more stick for me for a while.
We're getting genuinely more and more interested in the Sonata. Obviously I'm pushing Sarah to get the 2.0T version

Not sure about a slush box, but for whatever car I get next I think I'd like a six cylinder or a V8. I've driven some but for very brief periods of time. I'd like an extended experience to see how much of an improvement they are over the four-pots I've owned so far.
A diesel would be an option too if those become widely available and cheaper.

Drive one this weekend. The car is no slouch. Remember it weighs much less than other cars. I think you will like it. The only people I have met that dislike Fit's are the ones that have not drive one as yet.
Only in Florida

Keep in mind with the Sport model you will have paddle shifters and you/Sarah is inclined to, you can always force the car down a gear for more power -- or just plant your right foot hard on the gas 
I am very impressed with this automatic -- I feel like its way more responsive than my auto Civic was.
