For 07-09 Fit, only the sport model has tiptronic. The base model has the normal auto gearbox. The sport model has 5 gears while the base model has less (4, I think?)
I have the sport model and I used +/- quite often. My wife never touch the pedals. The Fit's pedal shifter is behind the steering wheel. You don't have to put it into S-mode to use them. In normal D-mode, you could also use the - to do temporary downshift. S-mode will require you to do all the + and -. I seldom drive on S-mode like many tiptronic drivers unless I know I will be driving onto Sea-to-sky (or on snow since S-mode is the only way to do a 2nd gear start). |
