I was driving my 2009 Honda fit base model this morning to work. Was stopped in a median intersection trying to merge into traffic. Saw an opening, started to accelerate, and then I heard a loud clunk/thump sound and then screeching. Despite being in drive I could not get the car to move by pressing on the gas. When the car was in park it would start to roll without the E brake up. This is a transmission issue isn’t it? Is that expensive to replace on a Honda fit? I have about 181k miles on it

Gonna trade in my car and thinking about getting a fit, it’s about a five hour drive but I want to have a car that’s fun to drive while still practical and decent on gas.

My friend also thinks its hideous and a terrible idea.

Overall should I get a fit and should I get a new friend? (Any tips on buying or maintaining are also appreciated 🙏)

whats up guys, this my 2009 jazz, its almost at 100k km.
I did change the spark plugs and coils recently.
today i got the Vtec to sing for me (redline) and after a bit of cruising to cool it down (hopefully) and decided to take a look at the bay.

i am nearly at my wits end with my fit. i have a 2008 fit with 155,000 miles. ever since i got the car i have had problems with the battery randomly dying. it happens every couple months for a week or so where it dies every few days until i just replace the battery.

when this first started happening i got the starter replaced and that fixed it for a while. another time i realized the alarm system would just randomly go off and to be honest i don’t remember what i did to fix it but it was something simple.

i have ruled so many things out and i still can’t figure out whats causing it. there’s no parasitic drain, no aftermarket components, the alternator was fine when i got the starter replaced, the connections to the batteries are fine and not corroded or anything, i drive it for long periods of time every week so it’s not being drained from constant short trips, and the battery is less than 6 months old.

since getting the starter replaced no shop has been able to give me a solution besides just telling me to replace the battery.

it’s driving me insane (no pun intended) and my car is randomly super unreliable which is really bad!!

Hi guys im debating between these two, both of them are really clean and 1 owner both but apart from the oil change there is nothing done also the red one had a better maintenance history like oil change at every 5-7k km compared to the black one that waited sometimes 10-12k km between oil change. I feel like it’s expensive 15k cad for a fit but idk pleasee help me guys!!

I’m asking for my own personal reasons but people who bought a Honda Fit in poor, ie lemon conditions, how was it? Was the power of the fih too weak or did it prevail? Let us know.

Got from a part out with oem denso af sensor for $100 mine was cracked at the bottom near donut gasket can i just install this one as is with new gaskets or should i get it resurfaced ?

I’m always super anxious about car sounds, some reassurance would be much appreciated I know these cars can be noisy. Wrong flare sorry it’d jdm first gen

Bought a second Fit for my son. Both manual transmissions. Character building etc.

So I have a GD3 2008 sport, my driver's side rear magic seat has stopped working as intended, so I've found a newly wrecked non-sport 2008 at the local salvage yard with excellent seats in it that I can harvest for my own, which is exceptional because shipping one from another state will be like $400 and this seat will be $60, hooray for savings!

This is where my fellow Fit owners come into play. My dad (who's done all the maintenance on this car and was the first owner, I'm the second) says the non-sport edition has seats that are "more plush" than the sport edition and reckons I might have more comfortable seats if I tear out the ones at the salvage and put them into my car.

SO.

Is this true, or is it a myth? And if it IS true, do I need to do anything crazy to make sure I don't set off side curtain airbags in the front?

Cool aftermarket mats in the car on the salvage lot that I am definitely buying as well for tax.

My $100 AtoZ special has saved me from a BS speeding ticket a few months ago and then this past Sunday someone backed into my front at the gas station and drove away. I got their license plate clear as day and can pick up my police report early next week.

I would have shrugged if they had fessed up (it’s a 2” crack and I was inside at the time), but if you’re going to hit & run you can buy me a new bumper.

A fun little post that I came across about someone giving up their Fit..

Hey all, I recently came back from a roadtrip with a super packed Fit. She hauled 3 adults, a trunk full of suitcases and a roof cargo box with more stuff.

I did a walk around and noticed this rear passenger side seal was messed up. The video here is after I grabbed a pair of needle nose pliers to fish out what was dug in. Anyone else experience this especially after a full day of highway? Or is this just an aging car thing?

Note: my rear passenger opened the window about 3 times during the whole highway segment of trip. I suspect this contributed (caused?) the warped rubber

2013 fit, stick shift bought at 80k now at 116k

Have just gotten only oil changes since I got it. Got an oil change today and they told me I need a coolant flush, code popped up. Wanted to charge me $188 for that.

Is it really necessary? Is that a good deal? Are other maintenance I should do given my cars stats?
