If you want cruise control, you should buy the Sport model. I doubt that
an after market cruse control would work as well as the one the Sport
model.
You should also take look at the various Civic models. The two door model Civic
looks much better than the Fit Sport. The engine in a Civic has much more
power than the engine in the Fit. Ask a salesman at the Honda dealership
to give you free brochures related to the Fit and Civic. Compare the statistics
in the brochure related to Horsepower and Torque.
