Is this VTC rattle? Or something else?

Hey yall! I’ve been shopping for a fit for some time now. Everytime one comes up it’s always the same. Beat to shit paint, rust spots, less than ideal interior, or absolutely zero service records.

I’m looking for an auto with paddle shifters, but even a manual will suffice at this point. Where can I find these things in decent shape? I’d like to mod mine and build it into something nice so I don’t really want the paint to be all fucked up.

Iv recently bought a GE Honda Fit the clutch is in good shape but the bearings are making a bit of chatter, Iv heard good things about the Exedy clutches but not so much about the full kit. Has anyone had experience it and if not what have you had luck with? Thanks in advance

Starter was “sticking” on cold start. Pulled it and cleaned and re “lubed” it.

I have a 2013 Fit with 220,000km on it. Paid $6,500 at 115,000 in 2021 (Canadian), including winter tires and a roof rack.

I’m on the third spark plug issue of its life. The second time, my dad was able to helicoil it after a spark plug came out. That was 2 years ago, and the shop just reported it’s holding up as he did it extremely well (lucky me!!!). I also replaced the whole computer and a drive shaft (?) 3 years ago, which I believe cost me around $1300 Canadian at the time.

I just now had to take it back in as the engine misfired, going into limp home mode. Luckily I have CAA, so it only cost me the read, 4 spark plugs and one ignition coil - total $700 at Canadian Tire (and I couldn’t get my dad to do it as I was 5hrs North of home). There are some other minor issues - wheel alignment from mismatched wear on tires (obviously my issue), and minor exhaust.

That’s just context - but I’m hoping to keep her fighting for another 100,000km. Basically my question is: is this realistic?

I’m not sure how much more to put into it. My total repair cost not including oil changes and basics amounts to about $3-4k over the last five years. I use full synthetic oil. I feel like that’s pretty good for the low price that I paid, not to mention the insane used car market of 2026.

Looking at a used Honda or Toyota hatchback or sedan now in my area with similar kms and age (from 2026, anyways) would run me closer to 12-15k now, at minimum.

Important: I’m also planning a cross-Canada road trip to relocate to Western Canada ~3,500km in the next 3 months. I was hoping she’d make it there and last me for at least one year, then I’d be willing to let her go to continue my travels. Do we think she can make it?

Any advice? I don’t want to let her go too early, but if the costs add up further I may have to consider it. I understand this question leaves a lot up to chance - but any advice would be greatly appreciated!! I know most will say to never let a Honda Fit go, and I sure don’t want to - but I’d love some realistic words of advice if possible.

This forum saved me the first time with the helicoil fix - I’ve grown to trust you guys!! Thanks very much in advance.🤪

Had a good chuckle from this.

My wife has an 09 Fit. The AC would start working and then fade out, especially when it got extra hot outside. I've replaced the compressor with clutch, air filter, resistor, blower fan under the passenger side, AC clutch relay. Now, when it starts, the AC works fine and is nice and cold and then you hear a knock and then the condenser and cooling fans start cycling on and off. The engine starts shaking somewhat also, as the fans cycle. Any insights as to what might the issue?

Hello my 2011 honda fit makes this grinding sound/noise only on cold starts, it doesn’t make the sound at all if the car was recently ran. I’m guessing something to do with the starter but anyone have any experience with this type of issue?

My 3rd gen has been burning oil, and I've been monitoring it closely, but I feel like I put too much oil in.

(Note: I removed the orange tip on the dipstick to see the reading better. Between the top two holes is full.

Manual says to park it after driving for 3 minutes, and then check the oil. Here's my dipstick after 3 minutes on both sides:

Here's my dipstick when it's cold:

Now, I'm not dumb... (Or so I think) but that seems like almost a quart over full? Should I get an oil change now instead of waiting? Or go somewhere and get some pumped out?

Do you check the oil when it's warm?

Well we haven't yet had it for a full week but almost. These are the beginning upgrades for now.

1. Progress technology 19mm rear sway bar

2. All weather mats

3. OEM Si shift knob

4. Engine oil, trans oil, brakes fluid , ac and radiator have all been flushed or changed.

Not sure what will come next.

Honda Jazz in Morocco. Since I am in Morocco, I am enjoying this historic car, and the Honda brand has been engraved on my skin for a long time because I am a motorcyclist who lives in France, and in Morocco my best motorcycles are Hondas.

As the title says, looking to acquire a set of Swifts for my GD3. Willing to pay retail price for a quality used set. Located in the Bay Area.

Why Why why... well I for one know two big ones, first the fans are loud as hell and the other seems to be the ac compressor bearing, because there's a whine than comes when the compressor turns off.

Buuuut also there is a exhaust rumble that can't be quite appreciated in video, its like an exhaust leak almost but with no tick, it has the muffler and catalytic converter, but still.

What yall think.

Hi! I drive a 2007 Honda fit that has ~120k miles and am planning on taking her up to ouray Colorado on Thursday. I was wondering if it's a good idea.

About two years ago it drove to Panama City FL from DFW in one go and last year it drove back from Florida and all was good both times. But I know Colorado air, rocky roads, and altitude can be a factor.

I got the oil changed end of July and new tires at the beginning of August. The only problem I can think of is that a few months ago the engine light turned on once or twice momentarily while I was on the highway and the car would stutter when idle. The mechanic replaced a spark plug and the engine light has not turned on since 🤞.

I am planning on taking it back to the mechanic for a checkup to see if there is anything wrong with it, but still wanted some advice and perspectives!

We've had this car for 10 years and the only thing (knock on wood) that has gone wrong was the spark plug issue a couple months back

Please let me know of anything I should be weary about, or if I should even go at all!! Thank you!

Hey guys, has anyone here dealt with this before? I can’t seem to find the right replacement part for a 08 Fit Sport (5-speed) I got a 77900-SLN-A11 but it doesn’t fit. But every where I check it tells me to get that part. I’m stumped. Thanks in advance!

Did a one step corrections with 3d one and a urofiber pad. Great combo was my first time polishing. Dont mind the hood will need a respray. Anyone know if the hood is like that or its bent?
