2010 Fit Sport w/ Nav, not available w/ manual transmission?
I went to Honda's website and clicked on the 'build your own' section of the 2010 Honda Fit and noticed that they do not offer a manual transmission with the Sport with navigation. Is this correct?

looks like your right they took the manual off. they might put it back
if enough people ask for it. but i'll just be blowing smoke. the reason
they got rid of it is most likely cause there was no demand for it.
oh well what are you going to do. where in America. no one want to
drive. everyone wants to be driven.

I think people smart enough to get a MT know you can get a better stand alone navigation system for a fraction of the cost.

2010 and 2009 are identical. Find a 2009 that has m/t. Here's a place to start:

Honda has done the same thing with the Civic. If you want VSA, you have to get an automatic.
Deal Breaker.

I do not understand why Honda would eliminate the option for nav and manual transmission combo. I admit it was very difficult to find my car in that combo, but at least it was available. Not sure I would buy a Fit without the manual trans.
I'm still in disbelief Honda is pulling that stupid crap again by making a safety feature like VSA only available with an expensive option like nav. VSA should be standard on all trim lines by now. What does VSA have to do with nav, nothing!. That would be like another manufacture making anti-lock breaks only available with leather seats or something. Makes no sense whatsoever but I'm sure it's profit driven which is lame. One of the more boneheaded decisions I can recall Honda making in the past decade or so.

Well, I suspect by 2012, you won't be able to get a manual transmission anything. We now have a whole generation of Americans who have never driven a manual and are afraid to learn.
Why should car companies even bother to offer manual transmissions when something like 95% of new cars sold in America are automatics? After all, automatics add another $800-$1000 to the price of a car, and a good chunk of that is extra profit for the automaker and the dealer.
I'm surprised you can still by a manual transmission in any car. Having to shift gears just distracts drivers from:
talking on the cell phone,
texting,
drinking coffee,
yelling at the kids,
playing with the navigation screen,
etc. etc.

We ordered our '09 about a year ago. There were no Sport Navis anywhere with a manual transmission. I believe that Honda built all of them to order on two days at the end of November. They just don't sell them.
I drove a Sport Navi with auto and it was fine, although I thought the transmission was busy shifting all the time on the hilly highway with the cruise on. The paddle shifters were fun to play with, too.
My wife just would not hear of an automatic transmission on a fun little car. Hence the stick. No regrets there.
VSA: Valuable safety equipment.
Cheers.
