I bought a 2011 Honda Fit from the original owner w 217800 miles..very clean and well maintained
He talks about it for a min and then I take it to Honda/Acura specialist to go through it and see if it needs anything
-Update as of Nov 4 2023 -Replaced the tensioner it was noisy but the alternator is also noisy ! Will update when I replace the alternator
-NOV 11 I replaced the alternator ..no more noise! And I replaced the front brake pads -

I love my 2007 Honda Fit. It has 262k miles on it. Still runs new. I have done coil packs, spark plugs, VTEC solenoid switch, tires, brakes, trans fluid drain and fills, Mobil 1/Honda oil filter changes every 4500 miles and weekly car washes. Self maintained because I am a crazy nut case when it comes down to maintenance. 2 current flaws, paint is starting to fade on the top and the driver's door outer key lock cylinder is jammed. My Fit goes on 100 mile daily commutes including doing Amazon Flex and Instacart deliveries on the side. Awesome car!!! Damn right, I'd buy another one.

You have 1 ? How many miles ?

I can explain the cut-off part. It's not just the small size, it's the small size AND that it's silver/light grey. The problem with silver/light grey as a colour is that from one's peripheral vision, especially on overcast days, it sort blends in with the sky/side horizon. If a driver doesn't do proper blind spot check, their peripheral vision has a hard time detecting silver/light grey. Own a 2012 Fit Sport since new and I'm at 218,000km and still going strong. Plan to drive it another 10 years!! You maintain these cars well, deal with the normal wear and tear items, and they last and last!!

Honda are such a weird company. They make an amazing car every 10 years that blows the doors off any BMW, stuff like the EP3 Type R and the first NSX and the S2000, then they just produce pedestrian stuff for a decade.

@@BaldadonisMike2021 I think alot of the fun Honda's didn't make it to the USA. I don't think you guys got the Honda Integra. The EP3 Civic type R was probably the best hot hatch of the 2000's. Bulltetproof reliability, multilink suspension and amazing handling. I think the S2000 is your only option unless your gonna shell out crazy cash for an NSX.

I have a 2010 Fit Sport, original owner. 98k miles. It's run like a dream the entire time I've had it with very few repair issues. It goes through tires faster than I'd like. I've had several sidewall bulges. The only substantive issue really is that the clear coat failed on me and I'm at a point where I either just let it continue to oxidize and come off (about half the car right now) or I consider repainting. A bit frustrating as the car looks pretty bad right now. It's blue so the oxidized clear coat is very noticeable. It was not kept in a garage, unfortunately. Love the car and I hope to keep driving it for many more years.

Thank you for the comment! I see that a lot with Honda ..the clear coat issue..Sorry to hear that with your car...in the video I show the alternator being noisy ..I am replacing it along with front pads this weekend..I tried the tensioner ..it was also rattling but didnt solve the noise ..I will to a short video showing the parts I replaced..

It should need valve adjustment

@motif1974 4 ай бұрын

Same experience. I have a 2010 fit sport with 110k miles. Biggest repair problem is just tires. Although did have a recall for the rear axial issue but they fixed that for free. I have the paint failing in a couple small areas but love this car and hope it lasts forever.

@1HeatWalk 5 ай бұрын

Noise could be the engine needs a valve adjustment. I own a 2005 Honda s2000 close to 65k miles on it. I have the same issue with small car syndrome. Drivers tailgate me because my car is small. They think my car is alot further ahead since they judge distance by the size of the car compared to other bigger cars. The tailgating stopped once I installed a 3rd brake light flasher. I am in the process looking for a second generation Honda fit from 2008-2013 because I want to avoid the 3rd generation Honda fit that uses a CVT automatic transmission for reliability issues.

My wife's 2011 1.3L Aussie Jazz (Fit) makes that same noise. I think it's actually fine, it's just a noise. She's been doing about 60miles a week for over a decade. One year she let the oil burn down, when the mechanic got back to us about the engine light he said he has Never seen an engine this low on oil and burnt out that could still run. I think it's a keeper!

I did end up changing out the alternator -did video on it-yeah it was noisy for sure and may not have given me any issues but for the next person buying it ,I didnt want someone to be like ..whats that noise ? It did get louder from when I first bought it ..But I sold it few months ago to a young man just getting his license and his family was very happy with it.

I bought a 2012 Fit Sport just like yours, with just 21K miles on it. Previous owner was an old lady. It took me just fifteen months to double that mileage! LOL It's actually a pleasant car to drive; it feels roomy to me and it'll cruise all day long at 70 MPH. I also have a 2021 Subaru WRX which is obviously much faster but the Fit has better brakes, a better stereo and a more precise-feeling clutch and transmission.

@BaldadonisMike2021 3 ай бұрын

Stereo in the Fit was pretty good..I had a Crosstrek and HATED that stereo..the transmission and clutch did feel much different between the 2..the fit was easy and very light while the Crosstrek was hard clutch or heavy feeling..and was a long shifting throw through the gears..both fun though

What was wrong

@Anisky123 16 күн бұрын

Hi a friend of my Aunt who is around 90 is selling a 2013 Raspberry Turquoise fit. It’s only got 5,700 miles She has never driven it on the highway and seems to have only JUST changed the oil for the first time (June 2024). She was front ended while parked when she first bought it, resulting in $5,000 repairs. Do you think the fact that she’s never driven it on the highway or changed the oil in over a decade despite hardly driving it is worrisome? Do you think it’s worth 11k if I get it inspected and it checks out?

@BaldadonisMike2021 16 күн бұрын

Im shocked that it wasn't totaled if it was hit that hard -if insurance fixed it w clean title..maybe go look at ..that old oil has broke down for sure lol..but I had many old hot rods many years ago that I bought from peoples driveways that sat for years and I would go through it..I would have a mechanic take a peek at it before buying it ...but if it sounds ok engine wise and drives ok..it should be fine ..just change all the fluids but im sure things will need replacing from just sitting! I wish I was there to see it..let me know what happens but I would not pay that type of money for lack of service (brake rotors might be warped etc ..$11000 buys you many different cars .

@@BaldadonisMike2021 Thanks so much for replying! I’ve had different people say completely different things about the crash, that it would be nothing probably as 5k isn’t that much and also the opposite.
