2013 Honda Fit Sport Hatchback 4-door 1.5l on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Arizona, United States
When we bought the Fit, we really thought it was the perfect retirement vehicle, one we would have for many years with incredible interior space and it was ridiculously economical. It proved to be both of those things and we will miss it. However, we need a small pickup and keeping three cars is just not in our economic program. The Fit is blast to drive. It’s deceptive. It looks smaller than it really is and I frequently saw it well utilized in India (where it’s called the Jazz,) and was amazed how people made use of the space. With the back seats down it’s almost a station wagon and I couldn’t think of a better car for us, (we occasionally exploit a paper towel sale at Target and swing by for three cases of tomato paste from Costco - this is what “mature” people do.) We have driven it to Las Vegas a couple of times and to the coast three or four times. It’s nice to stop, put $30 worth of gas in it and it’s full. It’s got plenty of pep for a small car but it’s not going to require chiropractic neck adjustments by any stretch. The air conditioning is very, very strong. We found this very comforting during hot flashes both biological and environmental. The seats are wonderful and it’s quiet for a small car; it doesn’t have that rattle and road noise issue of so many smaller vehicles. It’s got just the right set of features that make it the perfect everyday car. Andy, one of my friends who is a Mercedes nut, always gets in it and says, “This car is amazing; does anyone really ever need more car than this?” Probably not. I am taller, and this car has more headroom than any other car other than my old F250. You have to see it to believe it. It’s truly the universal car. There are things I don’t like about the car too. It doesn’t support Bluetooth, which means it won’t sync to your iPhone/Android and let you answer the phone. That came with the Honda navigation package but it was so overpriced I couldn’t fathom spending the money. You can play your iPhone-iPod/Android using the USB cable but I never bothered. I miss the memory seats from the BMW. My wife is smaller, I am taller, that’s a nice feature to push a button before I get in the car to move the seat back. The Fit was $18,800 new, how can I complain? It would be really nice to see someone buy it who will enjoy it as much as we do. It’s a great car. Maybe it’s a great “go to college car.” Our first cars were a Vega and a Pinto (also known as “the BBQ with tires.”) This car is like a BMW in comparison. Safer, tons of airbags, great mileage and yet still small enough it’s easy to park. We’ll see. Happy to deliver it after payment anywhere in Arizona or
California south of the Bay Area for $250.
Q&A Q) Have you smoked in it? A) No, we don’t smoke. I don’t think it even has an ashtray. Q) Any accidents? A) Nope. Not since I
started wearing Depends. (Just kidding,
no accidents.) Q) Any warranty left? A) Up to 36,000 or April 2016, whichever comes first. Q) Dings in the wheels? A) Not a one. I drop
the Mrs. off in low arching dives towards the curbs, never get that close, tell
her to “tuck and roll.” She’s a quick
learner. Q) Dings in the doors or body? Q) Serviced at the dealer? A) Yes. Just changed
the oil again. It’s at 100%. Q) What kind of mileage did you get? A) I averaged a little over 30. On the freeway, almost 34. In town, closer to 29. I have a very light foot, I am really good
with mileage. Q) Would you buy another one? A) In a heartbeat if I didn’t need to put things in the truck I would never put inside a car. Q) Do you need any help selling it? A) No, do you need any help importing the Do Not Call List
into your auto-dialer? |

Honda's latest fuel pump recall covers 761,000 vehicles worldwide
Wed, Mar 31 2021Honda will recall around 761,000 vehicles worldwide to replace fuel pumps that could fail and lead to stalling engines. This recall, which is described in the National Highway Safety Administration campaign number 21V215000, isn't the Japanese automaker's first recall for bad fuel pumps. It includes 628,000 vehicles sold in the United States. Honda isn't aware of any crashes or injuries related to the issue. This most recent recall includes models from both Acura and Honda, some from 2019 only and others stretching into the 2020 model year. From Acura, some ILX, MDX, MDX Sport Hybrid, RDX and TLX models are included. From Honda, the recall covers certain Accord (including the Hybrid), Civic (Coupe, Sedan and Hatchback and including the Si and Type R), Fit, HR-V, Odyssey, Passport, Pilot and Ridgeline. Finally, some Honda CR-V models from 2018 and 2019 are also included. Less than a year ago, Honda issued a recall over the fuel pumps of 136,057 vehicles in the U.S., some of which seem to overlap with this latest recall. Back in 2019, two separate recalls covered well over half a million vehicles for other fuel pump-related maladies, though it's not clear if any or all of these issues are related. With so many recalls over fuel pumps, it would be a good idea for owners of 2018-2020 Honda vehicles to enter their VIN numbers at either Honda's dedicated recall website or use the various tools provided by NHTSA.

Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
2016 Honda Civic Type R shows sometimes the grass really is greener [w/video]
Wed, Mar 4 2015The newly unveiled Honda Civic Type R at the Geneva Motor Show seems like a cruel trick being played on North American hot hatch fans. Even if the European model's oblong shape and massive wing don't make for the pinnacle of automotive beauty, it's hard to question the vehicle's performance capability, especially after the 7:50.63 lap around the Nurburgring Nordschleife. The heart of the Civic Type R is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 306 horsepower and 295 pound-feet with a six-speed manual. The combination is reportedly good for a sprint to 62 miles per hour in 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 167 mph. Honda also fits the CTR with Brembo brakes and adaptive dampers, while a special suspension setup reportedly helps in the fight against torque steer. While the big wing catches the eye first, Honda adds to the aggressive look with a new rear diffuser, front splitter and deeper side skirts. Also, the vents behind the front wheels help air through the engine bay to keep things running cool. Inside, front occupants are hugged by sport seats with big bolsters to keep them in place. With the forthcoming NSX and return to Formula One, Honda appears on the very cusp of a performance renaissance, and the Civic Type R is just one more step in that direction. Thankfully, at least one rumor indicates its turbocharged engine might make it into the North American Civic at some point. Related Video:
