Things to look out for???

Just got a 2013 Fit Sport.
Auto, 94,000mi.
Haven't driven it much yet.
Rain, rain, rain.
Are there things I should be watching for???

Should probably be looking into doing a valve adjustment here soon. I think 100k is the magic number for those. These 2nd gens have an issue with the spark plugs backing out if they have not been updated to the new torque specs. So can watch out for that or maybe plan on doing plugs with the valve adjustment. I think that is about it honestly. I have only had mine for 7 months now but I love it!

Plan on being the baddest car on your street now that you have a Fit!

Loose spark plugs. Beware if you have misfires or smell gas in the cabin.

Inspect tires and brakes.

Replace oil and oil filter.

Replace engine air filter.

Replace cabin air filter.

Agree about checking the valves and replacing the spark plugs.

I changed my drive belt and drive belt tensioner recently, and I'm under 95k miles.

The '13 Fit is a solid, reliable, low maintenance car. You made a good choice.
