2015 Honda Fit

Particularly if CR-V continues to NOT have a manual transmission available.
Not that it matters - Bean Counters will tell Engineering to do what helps Bottom Line - But - How many LIKE CVT's???
I'll wager CVT's are also less expensive to build than one with real gears.

I have read that the 2015 Honda CRV will have a CVT. What a revolting development that will be to a lot of RVers. Thanks

We tow a 2009 Fit Sport and have had no issues so far, although we haven't towed it a lot.

We did meet a couple in Florida last winter who tow an '08 and had to have their transmission replaced. He said he performed the "pre-towing procedure" religiously.

I have towed the car close to 30,000 miles and driven 65,000 with out a problem. I have changed the fluid every 25,000 as required for towed Fits and also have been very careful. Especially the warning about not shifting from reverse into neutral then towing. The car tows beautifully. This the first I have heard about a Fit with a auto trans problem. I love the car! Good luck.

Looks like you will be putting the Fit on a trailer.
