I am living in Brooklyn, NY. I bought Fit Sport in July, 2006. The total milages are 11300 now.
There are three major problems I feel so far.
1. MPG is low. I got around 200 miles per tank with 80% in the city.
2. Engine is loud. Everyday in the morning when I start the engine at the first time, the sound from the engine is loud, and the rpm goes to 2K. I also find that the green cold engine light is always on no matter it's summer or winter in the morning. It doesn't turn off until the engine has run for 2 minutes. Moreover, I think the engine is really a low-power one. Everytime I start from a full stop, the rpm has to go above 2.5k to get enough power to run, and it's loud too.
3. the ride is very bumpy
and rough. Although the technician told me last time that's normal for the small car, I think the bumpy ride is really annoying. The circuit under the dash board is already loose by that. Noise is coming out from there when driving. Is there any way to make the ride softer??? Change springs and suspensions???
I really want to trade-in my Fit and get a strong one since the road condition in New York City is really bad enough.
