I want a used Fit, what should I watch out for?

I'm shopping in the Toronto Ontario area for a used Fit. Probably a 2013 or 2014.
Is there a post or list somewhere that will tell me what issues to look for?
As an example, on an older Miata the rockers just ahead of the rear wheels are always the first place to rust out.
So, where does the rust start on the Fit?
What engine or tranny issues should I watch for?
What are other common issues that crop up?

Note: I'm shopping for a lower mileage 2013 or 2014, Sport with manual transmission. I'm not interested in cars that are Black, White, or Grey.

No! It's about half and half

I bought new so can't help

Spend more time reading threads here on the forum and you will see common issues for certain year Fits.

No, but Kenchan sure acting like one.


As for your original question.
Not anything I can think of. Off the top of my head.
Maybe more cosmetic; but the headlamps start to yellow real quick.
