2018's are made in Mexico and I hear there's been quality control issues there. Has me worried since I want to buy one soon.

If it were me, I'd be looking for a used low miles 2013 or so. Really. That's the last model year they were made in Japan. If you have doubts, the sticker on the inside of the driver door will clearly tell you where it was made.

That's not true, 2017 was Japan.

Mine was made in China (2014 Canadian, same as 2013 US).

3 years later, 0 problem!

Don't worry about, just go get one. It's a HONDA for Pete's sake.

Yep, my 2017 was made in Japan, Enigne made in Japan, and Transmission made in Japan. There's a lot made in Mexico where the engine was made in Japan and the transmission was made in the Philippines. Wow, a lotta mixed bag there.

Bought my 2015 Fit brand new in December 2014. It has 39k miles and so far I've replaced the battery, the AC has gone out, the rear hatch won't stay up on it's own. The biggest issue I'm having now? My Starter is going bad. It's 4 years old and I'm out of warranty. It will cost around $800 to replace because Honda refuses to acknowledge a known problem and recall. This is my first and last Honda. They don't make em like they used to.

My 2014 China made Fit, after 5 years, 1 real problem! Had a water leak in the trunk. Think the seal moved, because I moved it around a bit, and the leak is gone now.

Only thing that was changed under warranty (last month, before warranty ended - had an extended warranty) was the passenger side front link.

2019 sport with 1k miles engine trans from Philippines or some shit, built in Mexico. Biggest POS I've ever owned. Quality control is garbage.

I have a '15 I bought CPO in June of '16, have had no issues to speak of, other than the cold start "grind" in the winter, which might've happened 10 times since purchase. That's not to say the previous owner didn't have problems and got them corrected, but...my Mexico build is fine by me.
