I have a 2008 Honda Fit Sport. Black Betty has 156k miles on her! The only things I've had issues with so far is the ignition coils. I learned the hard way you must use genuine Honda parts for those! Don't buy the ones from a parts store, they will not work for long! I love my fit!

My Fit is a 2007 Sport. I hit 207,000 this morning. The air-conditioning does not work. I've had very few issues. It has been an outstanding value. I've been wondering lately, how much further can this car go? I've never had a car with mileage this high!
Mine started hazing somewhere in the 120K or so. Finally got around to doing the lens polishing with a Mother's product from Wal-Mart. $20 and super easy to use. Looks good. 2 weeks later and my low beam on one side out. 1st bulb I've needed to replace and I'm at 182K miles.
Fit Dr - I'm surprised that your first replacement bulb is at 182K miles. I've needed to replace bulbs many times. I'm jealous! Have you been able to do the replacement yourself? Whenever I've had it done, I've been told how difficult it is to access.
I don't have to drive much at night. I haven't replaced it yet but there's a write up either on this site or another. I Googled it and it was on the 1st page.
hey guys, my fit is currently at 135k miles and still running great, but I'm having A/C issues (sometimes when I have the a/c "on", it get begins to blow cold air which lasts only 30mins then stops blowing cold air. But then there are times when I put the a/c "on" and there is no cold air blowing. I did have the radiator fan replaced recently which I thought would've solved the issue but i suppose its something else. ANY IDEAS?
Only major maintenance in 253k miles was a new radiator and A/C condenser from all the bugs/stones through the weakly-protected front grill. Got a custom grill liner to fix that (customcargrills.com - Custom Car and Truck Grills - Mesh Grill Sheets and More!) for $50 (cheap insurance to prevent another $1200 in repairs). Still on original clutch. Using Amsoil synthetic motor oil at 15k interval. Works great. Love my Fit. Still getting 35+ mpg. Will have to post pics of both.

Also changed my 5 speed tranny oil. I'm at 182K and this is only the second time I've done it. First change was at about 30K. It looked perfect then so I decided to extend the change intervals and kind of forgot about it. 150K probably a bit too long as I had trouble getting it into 1st frequently and shift quality was getting poor.
I used the GM Synchromesh Friction Modified and find it quite a bit superior to Honda replacement fluid. Tranny issues are fixed and it feels really nice to shift again.
