Get a New fit. I'm on my second fit. I had an 09 and now a 2011. Fits dont depreciate in value at all. Youll always get a better investment buying a new over used in this category. That being said, manual is the way to go. Wait for it if you can! I really couldnt stand driving the auto and I commute the DC area. I really dont have much trouble with the stop and go traffic. Once you learn to maintain a constant speed instead of stopping it becomes a non issue. I cant get below 36mp and I averaged 40-42 with highs up in the 48-52 range. I LOVE my fit. 10 cup holders, all that room in the back, and its fun as hell to drive as a small car. I love carving on/off ramps and corners to maintain speed.
