Just wondering what are the percentage of GE Fits out there of manual vs automatic. Doh miss spelled manual on the poll and it won't let me edit it.

 

lol I was going to say I don't have either because I don't know what a manaul is.

 

Sorry, but manual is garbage unless you are racing daily.

 

for me manual
I have like 20 cars in my life and 3 of them are auto. and fail
the manuals I have never fail in my hands.

just my experience

 

or unless you want throttle response and better gas mileage.
(I still don't believe an auto can get the same mileage as a manual.)

 

This isn't a good picture of all the GEs out there. Most people on the forum are people who are passionate about their cars and subsequently give a crap about driving so there will be a higher percentage of manuals.

 

Huh???????????????????
Manuals are garbage for those who don't want to be intimate with their machine or those who are uncoordinated.

Seriously though.....(because I dont want to diss folks who auto shift)
For some reason the term personal preference comes to mind. Give it some thought!

 

thanks for that.. you've filled my daily quota of "things i can't believe i'm reading on FitFreak.net"

 

i didn't realize it was for ge's well you got at least one gd in your poll. As for me, I miss my manual s10, but when i'm driving in SF, or in traffic, my auto fit is nice to have.

 

Some people post garbage daily.

 

i think someone doesn't know how to drive manual.

 

Atlanta traffic + wanting to enjoy my commute = 5 speed automatic (punctuated by occasional paddle shifter overrides)

Now, for truly enjoying the Fit on the Dragon's Tail, that's a different story. 'Bout time we get a sequential-shifting gearbox, or the ability to swap one in. My fingers are crossed for '09, '10, '11...maybeee? C'mon, Honda!

I need a sig! Oh well... For now:
-'09 TW Fit Sport Auto w/ Navi

 

this person's making automatic drivers look like jacka$$e$.... sighh

 

I just got auto cause there were no manuals, but manual is more responsive and I feel more in control with a manual and it gets better mpg on most cars, it seems you never learn how to drive a manual.

 

i have driven stick since i got my license and honestly don't see what the big deal is.
my first car when i got my license was 91' honda civic hatchback with an act race clutch. everything else after that is simple.
plus i drove in San Francisco. traffic and hills everywhere. it's practically second nature after awhile of driving it.

 

I chose automatic. It was the base automatic gas mileage that was the big draw.

Most of my cars have been stick. Except the Corvettes, those were automatics too.

I'm tired of shifting.

 

My personal preference is a manual for the car I drive. Again, for me it's especially important in small cars with small engines. More fun too which is important for me. Maybe a control issue I have to work out... Also drove for years in SF (Fillmore) with a 69 vw, manual of course. Can't imagine doing it any other way. Clutch died at Gough/Washington at the light. Had to back down and find alternate route to get home. That's part of the fun of it though right? At least with an old bug...

 

im not in to racing as much anymore so for me it was what they had on the lot AT, MT it dont matter to me as long as it had NAV and it was BLACK and gas miles... its what a hole 2-4 MPG better guess what its how you drive the car...and for those that do have the MT you got what you wanted right... so be happy with it and stop dissing the AT guys/girls its just unsportsman so grow up not eveyone here is a damn street racer this goes for the AT people also i realy dont care if your fit is faster than mine or can shift better/faster or even better MPG i enjoy my car it shows who i am and its just how I want it so say what you well im done

 

damn...
no one here dissed the AT. Someone with an AT dissed the MT tho.

 

well than i reverse my statement... and it was just a general rant not to anyone person or type of car, i should have put that
