Thank you for the response, however I am unclear if the later 2016+ still have the rampant problems or as the other poster said that even some of the 2017+ still seem to have the issues.

 

Since we're still getting reports of injector failure even in the newest models since the redesign, it's a safe bet that the design is still suspect. Yes, even in a 2017+ model, you could be looking at injector failure down the road. Problem is, there is no way to predict if and when it will happen. If it happens out of warranty, that's a $2-3K repair. No fun.

 

I picked up a 2018 Sport this passed January w/23k miles. Loved the car, but between the injector issues I've read about, and general distrust for CVTs (Thanks Nissan) I decided to pay the extra for the Hondacare extended warranty. Since the Fit was CPO, extending the bumper to bumper coverage to 100k was only an extra $1,100. I decided it was worth it for the peace of mind. Just a heads up though, they don't like calling it a "bumper to bumper" because it doesn't cover rubber things like the weather stripping in the doors, anything damaged by the owner (like your kids ripping off the power window buttons) or anything scheduled to be replaced in regular maintenance.

 

Did that come out to a good price? In my area (Seattle) , I am baffled that a 2018 used with 20-30k miles is only 1k cheaper than brand new 2020, unsure what I am missing, I haven't pulled the trigger yet because I was originally looked for a different pricing but now I might just go with the new?

 

It was about 2 grand cheaper than a new one, but had only 23k miles on it. Here was my thinking. Since they were willing to sell me the Honda Care warranty for $1k that extends bumper to bumper coverage to 100k, it seemed like a safer bet to me then new. I knew injector failure after the 36k mile coverage was a possibility, and as much as I enjoy the CVT, I know that many still feel unsure about the reliability. With the additional Honda Care, both of those issues are covered to 100k miles.

To each his own. I felt better doing it this way than going new.
