I have 2009 honda fit with 400 thousand miles it has never given me a problem
send piocture to my email at Mikebaldadonis@gmail.com!
Oh wow! That makes me feel much better! It is a pretty cute lil car and my first Honda! Wish me luck!
Manual or automatic?
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!!
I LOVE HONDA FIT ..
You have 1 ? How many miles ?
I have 2010 honda fit sport 60 thousand miles and works very well i love it i don't like jdm but jdm have power folding mirror smart Key and climat control best car this segment ❤
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.
That awesome! Thank for the comment!
Hi. Have you ever had catalytic problem? When was the last time you changed it? Thanks
@@adamnugroho7496 I never had catalytic converter issues. I burn 93 octane gas and drive it sometimes like I stole it.
That is incredible! I hope I at least get another 100,000 from her. The old owner was not too kind to her. I myself am picky and try to take care of my cars. How about time belts/chains?
@@user-ti3qy8yk4m Here's my advice for owning a Fit. The Honda Fit's engine has a 10:1 compression rate. Meaning you can burn 93 octane. Use Mobil 1 full synthetic every 5,000 miles. Timing chains and valve adjustments, LEAVE IT ALONE. If it is smooth as silk, again DO NOT open the engine. Do radiator drain and fills every 50,000 miles. Automatic Trans fluid drain and fill every 50,000 miles and keep the little car detailed and cleaned. I say that because the Honda Fit is such a reliable car. It doesnt deserve neglect. All in all, just baby your Honda Fit and it will last over 20 years. I have had my 2007 Honda Fit since new.
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.
And I forgot to mention the Integra type R FD2. Never forget about the Integra.
The Fit is probably my favorite Honda platform ever created
A lot of cool cars that I never got into..but I am looking for more fun Honda.Acura lately@@sleepercell9926
Thanks for the comment ! I am going a head w a new alternator after the belt tensioner didnt not solve the issue although it was no good either..So I will do a video on that and Im going to toss some new front pads in too! cheap enough and will have a better braking feel ..@@lusciouslunk
@@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
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.
I love these 2nd gen fits. Currently have 2 one auto and mt.
miles?
@@BaldadonisMike2021 both are 19x,xxx miles close to 200k.
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.
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.
I did another video doing the alternator and belt tensioner..all good now..thanks for the comment!
Best cars...in the world!! :) Ours is a 2005 with the (in my opinion) a nicer dash. The car just goes and goes and is like our best friend.
how many miles you have on it? I heard those years water comes in through hatch etc ..that true?
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.
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
Wow that's a rare find, may I ask how much you paid for the fit with 21k miles?
Also curious how much you paid
i had a 2007 5spd and i bought it with 485 km"s with the original clutch. got rid of it at 585 km's still getting close to 40 mpg but the body was going.
i'm definitely getting another manuel
I was able to get 38 mpg on my 2012 Honda Fit Sport.
NICE!!!!
It’s the alternator, I had same noice on my 2011 Honda Fit Sport and replaced it
I did a follow up video..replacing w new front brake pads! Thanks for the comment!
i liked your i35 video
Pissah lil car. Thinking of getting one. Wish it didn't have drums in back but maybe I'll do a rear disc conversion 🤔 nice review thx brotha 💪🏼
I did do another video on replace front brake pads and alternator ..Front pads was on lower side after replacing ,so much better..dont think it rear disk brakes ..you would be fine!
Upgrading to discs doesn’t do much in the long run, and is a PAIN to do yourself - be wary. Most of us who run Fits say don’t bother
I did another video..The front brake was replaced and was much better!@@lusciouslunk
@@BaldadonisMike2021 nice! We’re talking about swapping the rear drum brakes for disk brakes though, not replacing the front brakes
Yeah you was responding to my video when I said maybe do a rear disk brake conversion ,correct ? So I replaced the front pads and it was much better so no need to think about rear brakes conversion @@lusciouslunk
Is a good buy.. k24
Sold! Dec 23,2023
Hm u sold it 4?
Whyyyy
@@Ducttapewallets100 AS I SAY IN MY VIDEOS..I BUY AND SELL CARS-FIRST THING I SAY-
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?
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. Will def take it to a mechanic and get the title and car fax to see exactly what she did. Will let you know what happens…
@@Anisky123 how is that 5,000 mile Honda Fit going?
Had 1 with 242,000 miles on no hassle
Thats great! Love hearing that
Honda fit ,hybrid 2108 model with 44k ,imported from Japan. Is it advised to buy. Or should I go for Polo or Yaris
I never owned Either Yaris or Polo..But you cant go wrong w the Yaris or Fit..Let me know what you decide ! Thanks for the comment
How much did you buy the car for? That’s the purpose I was searching for.🙏
$3000-Sold it for $4500 after I did the front pads and an alternator
What was wrong
Drivers seat smells like farts! 😂
No way my man.......lol
I think you are correct lol
Dutch Oven in there!
Lets talk highway and up hill? Not too powerful? Just bought 2009 with 209,000
its fair..is what it is ,right? stick will be better I would think ..209k congrats!
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Yes it is automatic. It did have the coil pack issue and they were replaced. Hoping the car will be o.k.
Also yes,the power up hill is fair. I am praying it works out. My first Honds. Paint is fading here and there will buy a touch up kit and some good wax :)
Cahs.
That's my water downed Boston talk! I been out of Boston for 21 years! lol
