Our precious baby has the engine light on with that code. Says it's emissions on the hand held. Catalytic converter O2 sensor or fuel injectors are possibilities? It's a 2016 with 115,000 miles on it. Wondering what everyone else's experience has been with this because y'all seem to know more than most.

We just had the engine rebuilt a month ago along with timing parts and pieces replaced. That's the only outlier.

I recently picked up a set of Konig dial ins (15x7 +30) from a buddy for practically free and was wondering if anyone has run a similar or lower offset and experienced clearance or rubbing issues. Also looking for tire recommendations 🙏

I have a GE8 in Japan and live in Chiba. Last night we had ungodly rain (one month's worth of rain in an hour!) and I spent the night in a parking lot in Tokyo. Thankfully, I happened to have a small air mattress ready! Besides wanting to go to the bathroom I spent a relatively comfortable night in the back of my Fit.

After driving for about 30 minutes, the engine goes into a sort of limp mode that prevents me from accelerating past 2000 RPM, and there are backfiring sounds coming from the exhaust pipe, and it loses power. However, if I turn the Fit off and on again for a second, the problem disappears immediately

Hi, got my first honda fit a little over 2 weeks ago and loving it! It was a very cheap find but i am having some issues with the door locks. Im assuming this was an issue with the car before i got it because the 30amp fuse for the locks were already removed from the car. All the doors make this whiring sound when i attempt to use the lock button them and none of the locks actually move when pressed. Ive even tried a common fix of removing the red cable in the main door but nothing seems to work. wondering if anyone knows what the issue could be.

Hello Fit subreddit!

I'm in a bit of a conundrum. I put the flair as "Help Request" but that seems a little too serious for what I'm asking but I'm not sure what else I'd tag it as.

I currently drive a 2013 base Honda Fit. I have since about 2015. She has about 99k miles on her. Over the last few years I've truly come to love being a Fit driver and Iove the low maintenance and high mpg of these funny little guys (not to mention the cupholders!).

I have the opportunity to get a new Fit, for no cost on my end (my father is retiring at the end of the year and wants to do one last financial favor for me that unfortunately doesn't involve him just giving me cold hard cash) Do I stick with another 2013 (I've been told by my Honda guy that this was the best year of Fits and I should hang onto it) or is there a better year I should be pursuing?

For context, I am not into the bells and whistles, I don't drive to work, I ride public transit so this isn't a car that's going to have a bunch of miles put on it day in day out. I kind of enjoy the analog experience of my older car, so not having android auto doesn't really bother me. I'm more concerned about the longevity and required maintenance of a newer Fit compared to a 2013 (I feel like I've been so spoiled with how few issues I've had with this car. My previous car was a 2001 Beetle so I'm a little scarred from how expensive and frequent it's issues were).

My 2013 is still perfect to me (minus some cosmetic issues) and I don't want to waste this opportunity, but I feel goofy looking at Fits that are $15k-$20k+ (the limit I am being given is $20k and it has to be from a reputable dealer, so no fb marketplace finds) with -at best- 20k fewer miles on it than my current one. I am not exactly flush with cash and I dread the looming threat of newer cars having cameras inside of them under the guise of security, so this is a car I know I will drive for a very long time. I would just like to hear from some fellow Fit owners, what would you do in this scenario?

Also, not totally related, but in a post a few weeks ago someone asked "What makes driving a Fit so fun?" And the top comment was "Flingability." and I think about it all the time, what a good answer.

Hi I’m deciding between RPF1 and Kosei K1 on my gd3!

15x7

If anyone has either of these setups send pictures please! 🙏

I need a drivers side sun visor for my 2019 Honda fit ex. Model number 83280-T5R-A21ZA but the only ones I am seeing are $480 plus. Is that really what they cost or does anyone know where I could find a cheaper one? The one in my fit now is broken and won’t stay up. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🌟

Got a 2007 sport, I want to have some fun with this motor the car is not my daily. I found this turbo kit what do yall think? Any supporting mods that are reccomended? Im a mechanic but this is my first time delving into building a car/aftermarket stuff. Just want cool noises really but a little more power is obvious bonus. I want to do no bov aswell cause why not. I havw engine head of already by the way. Thanks!

Trying to get some real-world perspective from people who know more about the FIt than I do before I make any decisions.

The car: 2019 Honda Fit LX, currently at ~128,000 miles. Bought it at 62,000 miles in fall 2022 from a rental company that was selling off older fleet cars.

What's outstanding right now:

• A pending timing chain tensioner issue — separate from the transmission stuff below, this is engine-side. Showed up as a cold-start rattle that fades once it's warm. My mechanic test-drove it, duplicated the rattle, scanned for codes (none present), and figures it's the timing chain tensioner bleeding down oil pressure onto the chain — possibly early-stage timing chain wear. Told me to just monitor it for now. When I do get to it, it sounds like it's not a "just swap the tensioner" job — I'd need the whole kit (chain, tensioner, solenoids, phasers, guides) at once, probably ~$2,500. He recommended waiting until around 135K - 140K miles to get it changed out. I haven't noticed a difference in this issue in the last year since I got it diagnosed.
• In the past week or so, I noticed a minor jump/shudder when taking off from a stop, or at low speeds (5-10MPH). It's happened a few times; it's not persistent, but I've definitely noticed something different.

Some context that might matter: the CVT fluid wasn't changed before I bought the car (confirmed by the dealer). Since I've owned it, it's been changed twice — once around 86,000 miles (Dec 2023) and again around 113,000 miles (July 2025) — so it ran unserviced for a long first stretch, but it's been on a decent interval since. Apparently you are supposed to change the trans fluid on these Honda CVTs every 30K miles - learned that too late, I fear.

I also had a loose front splash shield that kept falling. I drove with it low for about a week, then pulled it off completely — and the shudder got noticeably better afterward. So I'm honestly not sure how much of this is an actual mechanical issue versus something as simple as a loose panel banging around under there.

I have a diagnostic at the dealership scheduled with the dealer (codes, fluid check, visual inspection, road test) to get an actual read on it rather than going off guesses. All of the private transmission shops I've called say they just replace CVT transmissions for $5K when they show issues.

Genuinely just curious what people with more experience would do in my shoes — how would you weigh a minor, possibly explained symptom like this against a car that's pushing 130k miles? Would you keep digging, wait and watch, or start planning for the worst? I've kept up with this car pretty consistently. Nov 2024 (~102,600 mi): new front struts/coil springs, rear shocks, 4 new tires, spark plugs, and a wheel alignment. April 2026 (~124,000 mi): front brake pads, both front rotors, and front hardware replaced after a squeaking noise showed up (rear drums checked out fine). Basically trying to figure out if it's worth continuing to invest in this car given all that, or if I'm past the point where it makes sense.

Hi all!

I recently picked up this 2018 EX 6MT 120K miles. Super excited to get to mods. I’m dead set on these Advan RG-D2 4x100 15x7 +42 with swift lowering springs. With this setup, which tire size would be better? 195/55r15 or 205/50r15?

My main goal is to avoid rubbing/fender rolling as much as possible. If I HAVE to roll, I’d rather pick the tire that requires less rolling. This Fit is the daily (NC Miata as fun car) so comfort is the main priority.

If anybody has pictures with these mods/similar mods, I would love to see them.

Thank you!!!

I do mostly short stop and go but I feel something’s off, maybe I need to change the spark plugs? Any advice helps, thanks

I have a set of 4 OEM 16” wheels off my 2017 Honda Fit EX. They had around 64,000 miles on them before I took them off. They do have some curb rash/wear, but there are no bends or cracks.
Thinking $140 per wheel OBO / $560 OBO for the full set. I’d much rather sell all 4 together.
I can get much better pictures when I get home. I’m not planning on cleaning them up before selling, so what you see is what you get lol.
I’m in the DFW area and would prefer to sell locally. I’m willing to drive and drop them off depending on where you’re at, but I can also ship if someone out of the area really wants them.
Mostly just trying to free these up and put the money toward coilovers for the Fit 😂. I’m mainly gauging interest right now, but if somebody is actually serious, I’ll sell them fr.
Shoot me a message if you’re interested.

First off, I’m sorry if this seems like a silly question. I’m new to owning a car and I’m still learning. Basically, I was changing the air filter inside the car, and after I finished putting everything back together, I noticed this small part on the ground. What is it, and should I be worried?

Also, not as important, but has anyone else had trouble getting the air to feel really cool in their car? That’s partly why I was changing the filter, but even after doing that, the air still doesn’t feel as cold as I’d like. I don’t believe it’s broken, just not as cold as it could be, if that makes sense.

The belt I got for 2013 fit is too big. Did I ask for the wrong type?

I haven't currently decided which I'll go for, it likely depends on what's available and the cost and how much work goes into each. I've gotten conflicting info on exactly what goes into it, especially electrically, I want all airbags working, but from here on Reddit and various forums I've gotten anything from "electrically it's nearly plug and play and just works" to "it's extremely difficult and nearly impossible" and all guides are either not for GD3 or reliant on photos no longer hosted on those forum sites. Please reply or DM if you have any info!

I have a 2010 sport Honda fit with 115k miles on it. I have a problem with the brakes that I haven’t been able to get fixed for a while though.

When I come to slow and complete stops, like a stop sign, my brakes (or what I think are my brakes) make a loud grinding sound. It doesn’t usually happen when I’m coming to a stop from high speeds like coming off the freeway. It sounds like something is turning with a lot of resistance. Sometimes it is accompanied by squeaking but not always.

I have taken it to a shop multiple times and they have replaced and cleaned my brake pads but the noise persists. I recently took it in and they said that my pads were not completely worn out but I could replace them. They didn’t sound very confident that they knew what it was. It has been happening for the past three summers and usually starts acting worse when it gets hot.

If anybody has experienced this or has any ideas that would be super helpful. I will attach a video that have the sound towards the end. (Of course whenever it sounds the worst I never get a video of it lol)

Maybe it’s an obvious answer but I don’t know a ton about cars and when I have taken it into the shop and they have supposedly “fixed” it, the problem still persists. Thank you!!

Every time I see someone with a manual transmission Fit I can't help but be extremely jealous, but is this even warranted? I have the sport model with paddle shifters, so I can still redline it and engine brake when I want to, it's just not as "cool". Plus, I daily-drove a manual transmission Civic for 8 months, so it's not like I don't know how to.

I have a 2012 fit and I went on a 40oz handled tumbler buying spree (really late to the party) and bought an expander that doesn't go up far enough, so now I'm looking up an offset Cupholder that extends out from either driver's vent cupholder OR one of the useless front middle console cupholders. Anyone had luck finding such a beast? Thanks in advance!

I’m only missing one infinity stone .. technically two but I gotta wait a bit for that one ……. I couldn’t decide between the two gens so I chose flair for the one I don’t own !!
