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..
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.
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.
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 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 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?
@@CarrieThiery 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.
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!!
We used to have a blue 2015 Sport manual. Loved that car. This color, wheel, and bashing combo is one of the coolest i have seen. Congrats! Would look great next to my Ep3 with same color and badging.
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.
best car. I purchased min 2009 Ge8 fit sport 1.5L auto with paddle shifters back in 2016 with 54k. right now we are at 119k closing in to 120k. I'm the second owner too. Im happy the GD and GE fits are finally getting love again in 2024
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
310! Thats awesome ...I am still looking for another ..I keep saying it in my comments ...but not many in my area w manual ....Glad you love your Fit..Enjoy!
@@BaldadonisMike2021 yep tsa courier contractor average 70/90 k a year . Average 500 k on my 2007 Ford focus .. both never burned oil bg moa etc.. other things brought them down.. I'm certain I'll hit 700 k in my Honda no problem will see thanks..
Thanks for the video. I’m planning to buy a Fit as a 3rd car in the house. I like the fuel efficiency, and the space and the reliability. I can’t afford a 2020 mode, but I don’t want it too old like 2015 or older. I think 2016 is the sweet spot. Thank you 👍🏾.
They (the Honda Fit) Are amazing cars! Have owned two of them 2007, and 2019 (still have the 2019). If you take care of it-properly/maintain it well, it will run forever. Easy 400 000 miles, 500 000 and more. No problem. How (one might ask), quality engineering and build. Very simple. I tried that same concept w Mercedes, nope! Never again. No matter how well you maintain it, it’s just not Honda 🥰. And yes, IT IS SHARP LOOKING! Heard it from me! ☺️
I have a 2010 honda fit sport automatic. 265,000 miles so far. Running great. I did put new drum breaks in the rear. They were grinding a good bit. $600 installed. I plan to continue driving this car until "the wheels fall off".
I bought a new silver 2nd Gen Fit sport 5spd back in 2012. Probably the most efficient, economical, practical, and reliable little car I ever owned. Not fast, but as an urban runabout, very toss able in the corners. I still prefer my 97 Prelude SH for fun drives, but the Fit was far more practical. We only traded up to a CRV due to safety concerns of a subcompact in a world of big trucks and SUVs, but not the car's fault. The ticking sound might be the valves needing adjusting. No big deal. Hope you love that Fit!
Thanks for the comment! I sold it months ago to a Honda family and the young man that got it ,it's his first car! His uncle had to drive it home for him....hopefully he is enjoying his new car...
I like the simplicity of the second generation like this one the third generation has too much tech with cameras and everything Love four-door hatchback so practical they can haul just about anything
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 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 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!
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
I have a 2010 with 94000 miles. It struggles a bit going up a steep incline here in NM on my way to work. Even in the slow lane people often tailgate me when I'm doing 70mph. Iwish it had a bit more power.
The clicking noise is probably because the solid lifters have worn in a bit and you need a valve adjustment. That’s based on the excellent condition, which probably eliminates an accessory.
Oops you said alternator. Leaving my comment in because the owners manual includes it as periodic maintenance but hydraulic, self adjusting lifters have lulled us into inattention.
@@mdubb4855 end up being the alternator ..It was charging fine and its mostly me being OCD lol..I did a follow up video replacing it w brakes pads up front..they passed state inspection but after doing them big difference in stopping ..thanks for the comment!
I have a 2013 Fit Sport, Midnight Plum, with 90k on it. I’m the original owner. The amount of cargo space is phenomenal which is what I was going for as it was replacing a beloved high mileage Volvo wagon. It’s fun to drive around town. On the highway if I drive slightly over the speed limit it gets great gas mileage even in the automatic. Not the most comfortable for a long trip though as the seats don’t adjust much which might not be a big deal to others. My only complaint with these is the factory didn’t properly torque the spark plugs on some units which can cause a major engine problems. If folks have a Fit esp. a low mileage one have your mechanic check the torque to specs on your plugs. There is a TSB on this and I had to get a regional manager involved to get HONDA to pay for some of the repair even though it was out of warranty. Also, check for recalls on airbags and the piece in the front end that is subject to rust. The rust recall is just some states even if the car was just sold or ever passed through an auction in the eligible states it should qualify. Good luck all:)
I'd say the invisibility issue for you is simply that it's grey and small. I have the Orange version in Nashville which has hella bad drivers and never an issue.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 biggest issue was the a/c would freeze up on long trips. Local dealership fixed it beautifully. A/C is like a meat locker now! 🥶🥶 Gotta replace a second ball bearing on Wednesday. Old age. 🤷♂️ Reliability is still stellar!! 👍😄
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…
Have a 2011 Fit with 67,575 original miles that a close relative (Mother) owned since new but sadly has passed away. RIP😞 . Same color and wheels as above and it basically looks, runs and drives like a brand new car. Zero issues with it. It's not the Sport model but I don't care about stuff like that. It gets 35 MPG has cold AC and am pleased with it.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Thank you. Her loss 2 months ago here in So.Calif was the lowest point ever by far. Everyone goes thru it at some point but it is rough. It still is. I've already gotten an offer to sell the Fit but I think I'll keep it in her memory. It's a good car that I would have no qualms over driving it across the country.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 --turns out the 2011 Fit Mom bought was indeed the Sport Model with the 16-in wheels like yours, same silver color w/ the rear spoiler, side color mirrors, fogs light, etc. All the more reason to keep it in her memory, she picked a good car. I didn't know much about the car until the unfortunate circumstances which occurred recently.
@@robertwheatley2471yeah you should keep it. The new cars are so sus these days. This car will last you for years and hundreds of thousands of miles and the maintenance is affordable. I commented on a post earlier to check for open recalls and have the spark plugs checked for proper torque. The Fits were part of the Tekata airbag recall which impacted nearly every auto manufacturer so don’t let that worry you. The next time you get an oil change look for an oil change coupon for a local Honda dealer and get the oil changed which should include a complimentary inspection of some sorts and ask them to check for open recalls while it is there. If the air bags are under recall Honda will treat you right based on my experience. I had to wait on parts and had a rental car for like 2 months! I’d also ask them to check the TSB about the improper torquing of the plugs at the factory and ask them to check that as a “courtesy” since it is a known problem within Honda that this occurred at the factory. Unless you know that the previous owner changed the spark plugs which I doubt at that mileage. Good luck.
@@ycoyle2803 80-90% chance I’m going to keep this 2011 Fit. A buddy of mine expressed interest in buying it because his 240K-mile 2012 Hyundai Elantra is starting to have transmission slipping problems. I suggested to have the trans fluid flushed and changed and also mentioned that I would need at least $8K to even justify selling this 2011 Fit. It’s either that or he spends $30K for a new car. KBB has this 2011 Fit at $8050-9800 for #2 condition with 67K miles... Have always wanted a 2012-13 2WD Tacoma Access cab but those things are around $12-15K. Nice trucks but I really don’t need one and it could be a problem, not sure. This 2011 Fit basically drives like a new car and gets over 30 MPG, going up a grade is slightly low on power but is not really an issue. The back seats fold down and has ample cargo area similar to a truck. I’m not sure whether my 2011 Fit is the Sport model or the regular..?? Unsure what the differences are. Mine does have the fog lights and rear spoiler so maybe it is the Sport...?? As a matter of fact I was going to have the oil changed in the next week-10 days and will look for that dealer coupon which hopefully includes the complementary inspection. Oil changes are now over $100 so they should at least do that.-Thx
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 :)
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.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Oh yeah especially huge trucks/SUV's. I have both too and i don't tailgate , people actually drive slower tailgating , they have to watch the road and mirror simultaneously, more info to process . Same principal as a drunk driver driving slower because they can't process as fast. People are dumb lol ...
I'm English your not quite as famous as Mike, regarding the Jazz I've been contemplating the 2018 onwards Jazz 1.5 VTEC sport for the mrs but she's not keen as in Europe & Australia they are renowned for only pensioners buying them you certainly won't see anyone under 70 in the UK owning them. The 1.5VTEC we have in Europe is the 6 speed manual No1 bought the crap CVT as even pensioners drive manuals & we just don't really drive autos here. Unless over 3.0L.

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
I have a 2010 with 94000 miles. It struggles a bit going up a steep incline here in NM on my way to work. Even in the slow lane people often tailgate me when I'm doing 70mph. Iwish it had a bit more power.
Turbo it ! lol..Yes it's low on power for sure!
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!
The clicking noise is probably because the solid lifters have worn in a bit and you need a valve adjustment. That’s based on the excellent condition, which probably eliminates an accessory.
Oops you said alternator. Leaving my comment in because the owners manual includes it as periodic maintenance but hydraulic, self adjusting lifters have lulled us into inattention.
@@mdubb4855 end up being the alternator ..It was charging fine and its mostly me being OCD lol..I did a follow up video replacing it w brakes pads up front..they passed state inspection but after doing them big difference in stopping ..thanks for the comment!
Mine stops great so I think maybe it might be choice of pad material. Mine is used so previous owner picked aggressive pads!
I end up doing new pads! I did another video after this 1 showing that..ty for the comment!
I have a 2013 Fit Sport, Midnight Plum, with 90k on it. I’m the original owner. The amount of cargo space is phenomenal which is what I was going for as it was replacing a beloved high mileage Volvo wagon. It’s fun to drive around town. On the highway if I drive slightly over the speed limit it gets great gas mileage even in the automatic. Not the most comfortable for a long trip though as the seats don’t adjust much which might not be a big deal to others.
My only complaint with these is the factory didn’t properly torque the spark plugs on some units which can cause a major engine problems. If folks have a Fit esp. a low mileage one have your mechanic check the torque to specs on your plugs. There is a TSB on this and I had to get a regional manager involved to get HONDA to pay for some of the repair even though it was out of warranty.
Also, check for recalls on airbags and the piece in the front end that is subject to rust. The rust recall is just some states even if the car was just sold or ever passed through an auction in the eligible states it should qualify.
Good luck all:)
Thanks for the info !
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'd say the invisibility issue for you is simply that it's grey and small. I have the Orange version in Nashville which has hella bad drivers and never an issue.
I agree! Thanks for reaching out !
they stopped building them didnt they. I didnt see them on Honda's website
omg that's my exact car!! 😱😄👍
2010 Honda Fit here 180,000 miles and counting. 👍😄
Awesome my man!
@@BaldadonisMike2021 biggest issue was the a/c would freeze up on long trips. Local dealership fixed it beautifully. A/C is like a meat locker now! 🥶🥶
Gotta replace a second ball bearing on Wednesday. Old age. 🤷♂️ Reliability is still stellar!! 👍😄
What is the lifespan of this vehicule ? May be 300k then It's an old car.
if you take care of it yes..300k most people would be bored with it by then,
Mine has 220 is a 2013 5 speed. I like it its slow af but nimble and cheap to drive
Fun car ,I liked it ,I would buy another for sure
Where do you sell the cars? Once you restore them. Just found your channel. I was looking at Honda fit and found your video…
Boston and New Hampshire craigslist /FB -
I was able to get 38 mpg on my 2012 Honda Fit Sport.
NICE!!!!
Know a friend that has 230k no issues
Thats great!
i liked your i35 video
What did you pay and want to sell it..??????
You should change discs and pads, it brakes a lot......
It has 4 disc brakes, mine has, 1.4l 99hp
I did it in a follow up video! LOL
@@BaldadonisMike2021 now It brakes well, isn't It?
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?
Have a 2011 Fit with 67,575 original miles that a close relative (Mother) owned since new but sadly has passed away. RIP😞 . Same color and wheels as above and it basically looks, runs and drives like a brand new car. Zero issues with it. It's not the Sport model but I don't care about stuff like that. It gets 35 MPG has cold AC and am pleased with it.
Sorry for your loss...
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Thank you. Her loss 2 months ago here in So.Calif was the lowest point ever by far. Everyone goes thru it at some point but it is rough. It still is. I've already gotten an offer to sell the Fit but I think I'll keep it in her memory. It's a good car that I would have no qualms over driving it across the country.
@@BaldadonisMike2021 --turns out the 2011 Fit Mom bought was indeed the Sport Model with the 16-in wheels like yours, same silver color w/ the rear spoiler, side color mirrors, fogs light, etc. All the more reason to keep it in her memory, she picked a good car. I didn't know much about the car until the unfortunate circumstances which occurred recently.
@@robertwheatley2471yeah you should keep it. The new cars are so sus these days. This car will last you for years and hundreds of thousands of miles and the maintenance is affordable. I commented on a post earlier to check for open recalls and have the spark plugs checked for proper torque. The Fits were part of the Tekata airbag recall which impacted nearly every auto manufacturer so don’t let that worry you. The next time you get an oil change look for an oil change coupon for a local Honda dealer and get the oil changed which should include a complimentary inspection of some sorts and ask them to check for open recalls while it is there. If the air bags are under recall Honda will treat you right based on my experience.
I had to wait on parts and had a rental car for like 2 months!
I’d also ask them to check the TSB about the improper torquing of the plugs at the factory and ask them to check that as a “courtesy” since it is a known problem within Honda that this occurred at the factory. Unless you know that the previous owner changed the spark plugs which I doubt at that mileage.
Good luck.
@@ycoyle2803 80-90% chance I’m going to keep this 2011 Fit. A buddy of mine expressed interest in buying it because his 240K-mile 2012 Hyundai Elantra is starting to have transmission slipping problems. I suggested to have the trans fluid flushed and changed and also mentioned that I would need at least $8K to even justify selling this 2011 Fit. It’s either that or he spends $30K for a new car. KBB has this 2011 Fit at $8050-9800 for #2 condition with 67K miles... Have always wanted a 2012-13 2WD Tacoma Access cab but those things are around $12-15K. Nice trucks but I really don’t need one and it could be a problem, not sure. This 2011 Fit basically drives like a new car and gets over 30 MPG, going up a grade is slightly low on power but is not really an issue. The back seats fold down and has ample cargo area similar to a truck. I’m not sure whether my 2011 Fit is the Sport model or the regular..?? Unsure what the differences are. Mine does have the fog lights and rear spoiler so maybe it is the Sport...?? As a matter of fact I was going to have the oil changed in the next week-10 days and will look for that dealer coupon which hopefully includes the complementary inspection. Oil changes are now over $100 so they should at least do that.-Thx
Had 1 with 242,000 miles on no hassle
Thats great! Love hearing that
Nice video, how much did you pay for the Honda Fit, I am seriously looking at buying one ,but only with a manual.
$3000 I paid then I did brakes and alternator
@@BaldadonisMike2021 , Nicely done , I am looking for that same type of deal . It’s going to take a while
@@timothyrobles8777 Think that's what you find w that miles for the price? Where are you located ?
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Ocala. Florida
I have had every car you can imagine Honda Fit 2015 best car ever seats fold complely flat 16:21 16:21

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
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 :)
Great, i bought a 2015 fit with 139k miles
Enjoy ,you have low miles
@@BaldadonisMike2021 i think i have another 300k on it
Drivers seat smells like farts! 😂
No way my man.......lol
I think you are correct lol
Dutch Oven in there!
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!
What was wrong
Brake pads, noisy alternator, and that's all I think 🤔
I have a Vibe and get cut off and tail gated every damn day...
People suck! Same in my Mini Cooper S -Seems like the smaller cars get messed with..lol..
@@BaldadonisMike2021 Oh yeah especially huge trucks/SUV's. I have both too and i don't tailgate , people actually drive slower tailgating , they have to watch the road and mirror simultaneously, more info to process . Same principal as a drunk driver driving slower because they can't process as fast. People are dumb lol ...
I'm English your not quite as famous as Mike, regarding the Jazz I've been contemplating the 2018 onwards Jazz 1.5 VTEC sport for the mrs but she's not keen as in Europe & Australia they are renowned for only pensioners buying them you certainly won't see anyone under 70 in the UK owning them. The 1.5VTEC we have in Europe is the 6 speed manual No1 bought the crap CVT as even pensioners drive manuals & we just don't really drive autos here. Unless over 3.0L.
Cahs.
That's my water downed Boston talk! I been out of Boston for 21 years! lol
WHY !!!?? would you do that ? L15 is THE Worst engine Honda has ever made.
do what?
Car is too small for you and it gotta have some rust I saw it in the engine bay.....your in new england
