Hey, everyone! I just bought a 2017 Fit EX-L (CVT). Has a little under 7,000 miles. For the most part, I love it (of course)! But I'm noticing a few oddities here and there, and wondering if they're anything to be concerned about.

1) The cold engine light (blue thermometer) stays on for about 2 or 3 minutes after I start the car. But it always disappears within a few minutes of starting the engine. Is this just telling me the engine hasn't warmed up yet, or could it be something more serious?

2) The engine seems a bit loud. It's not crazy-loud, but more noisy than I would expect from a car this size. Is this a common complaint, or should I take it back to the dealer to have it looked at?

 

G'Day & welcome to the Fit family.

Number 1 is just your engine warming up, can't help with number 2 without hearing it. I don't think mine is loud, but before this, I had been driving 4wd's for the past 20+ years so so everything is quiet compared to them

Enjoy your Fit, post some photos of it when you can

FFS please stop posting photos of stock Fits or asking for photos. We all know what they look like.

 

Sorry, I didn't know to ask to see photos was against the rules

 

Not against the rules as far as I know. I just find it silly when people post photos of a stock car that we all own, when there are professionally-shot photos on Honda's website. It means a notification of new postings, etc.
