I pulled up the manual on the 2015 Honda Fit from Honda's website. The CVT automatic can't be towed with any wheels on the ground.
The ironic thing is that older Fits can be towed four down, no problem. Newer ones, no way, no how.
Manual transmission Fits (any year) can be towed 4-down.
The poster above is incorrect in assuming that the CVT transmission model can't be towed with the rear wheels on the ground. The manual, under emergency towing, states that it can. There is a caution on recreational towing but that was corrected later with a statement from Honda. There is absolutely no reason a CVT transmission Fit can't be towed on a tow dolly as the Fit is a FWD not AWD car. Getting a Fit on a dolly might be a whole different issue.
We have a 2012 Fit automatic that tows just fine 4-down. But Honda needed to improve fleet fuel mileage and so the CVT transmission was used.
