I keep thinking I see the 2015 Fit here and there, but they are actually Nissan Versa Notes...they look virtually identical....not just from the sides but the front and rear as well. the Versa note has a good amount of room and can be had cheaper. if I was done with rowing my own gears I would have to give it a look. I know the fit may be a more solid choice, but my frugality would have me checking out the note.

The Note is available with a manual, but as with the Fit, the MPG rating is lower than with the CVT. Of the 1,073 2015 Fits available in the U.S., only 4 of them are in the Houston Metro...all CVTs and all at the same dealership. If I come 'within a gallon of gas round trip' of any of the 6 speed Fits on my way to Montana, etc. (and the timing is right re a dealership being open) I may take that short detour and go sit in one.
