2nd FIT in family

I bought myself a 2013 Fit last week. My wife has a 2010 and she really likes it. Mine is the manual tranny, I can't stand automatics. I just need to have control, plus I am a serious autocrosser and wanna-be race car driver so I need to shift it myself.
My story of getting mine is frought with sorrow though. I had originally purchased an 09 VW Sportwagen. Which was very fast, rode great, had a great shifter, good overall feel, I loved it-- except the engine had a miss in it that I could not get rid of. And something seemed "not right". Well taking it to my local Honda dealer because I saw they had the MT Fit, on appraisal of the VW they said it had evidence of flood damage. That explained a lot, including the engine miss and general dirtiness. I traded it and got the Fit.
BTW I do think the 13 has a softer ride than my wife's but not so soft it's floaty. At my work we have lots of speed bumps and it's noticeably softer over those.
Thanks all, I'll be spending a bit more time here now.
Chris
