paddle shifters
#2
Paddle shifters are equipped on every 5AT Sport. The Fit Sport 5MT will not have them.
They allow you to control upshifting or downshifting, w/o using a clutch. The transmission is still an automatic; there is still a torque convertor. It's mainly a gimmick, but it's still a nice feature to have.
If you dont want to use the paddle shifters, you dont have to. The Fit Sport 5AT will have a fully automatic mode as well.

the paddle shift is honda cvt, it doesn't have a torque converter, or so to speak, it uses a variable diameter pulley to change the diff gear ratio without the need press the clutch. it's info is on http://asia.vtec.net/Reviews/JazzVtec/index.html .... enjoy
and it still have the choice between full automatic or sport which is cvt, i dunno about the USDM version though, the info i have is from malaysia

the usdm version will have a US exclusive 5at that will feature the paddle shifters... it's still a auto with a tourqe converter but you basicly just tell the TCU when to shift when your in sport mode. it's kinda cool and our 02 GTI has it but i still find it poinless. just my .02 tho, for someone handicaped i think it's a awsome idea and i have a friend that would love to have this in his AT WRX with hand controls

For prolonged speed and distance (other than Autobaun) the U.S. has more miles of highspeed highway than anywhere else in the world - also we average the longest non - mass transit commute miles of any nation.
