Still no Fit
 

I've been waiting for almost two months. So it goes, or doesn't go.

Re: Still no Fit
 

I'd buy a Chevy Aveo instead. No wait and great cars a lot like the Fit
and way less costly.

You did read the reviews and remember the comments about the shifter on
that Daewoo, no?

The reviews actually seemed ok, but it isn't a Fit which is why
they're so hard to get. Once you add in the various options to bring
it near the Fit Sports level, it isn't really much cheaper. A thousand
or two. And I know how reliable Hondas are. Plus I really like the way
the seats fold.

If I can't get it I'll just put some money into my 91 Accord and wait
another year.

Are you serious?!!

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. In the case of the Aveo,
with the low price comes low quality. It is a Daewoo-built crapbox that
gets gas mileage that's on par with my '93 Accord.

Re: Still no Fit
 

yes I am serious..we have one (Aveo) and it is great. 35 mpg and runs
strong and is cheap to own. You think the Hondas are better well then wait
for the Fit.
I have a 2001 CRV that is full of problems the dealers cant remedy and
when they do repairs it costs a fortune. I used to think the Japanese cars
were good but not anymore because most of the parts on american cars are
Japanese anyway and Korean parts are known for quality as well. My point
is that there are good alternatives and since its the 1st year for the Fit
you may be better off waiting till the bugs are fixed in a few years. I am
only trying to be helpful since you were complaining about the long wait
for the Fit. Buying a new car style or model in its 1st or 2nd year of
production is an expensive idea and time consuming as well.

But the Fit is just a retooled Jazz which has been sold in Europe for
years. I'm not worried about first year problems with it.

I am seriously thinking about just canceling the order and putting a
few thousand into my 91 Accord and keeping it for another two years.

If that 35mpg is highway driving, then yes, that is a joke. My '93 Accord,
a heavier car with an automatic, got 33mpg on the last few highway trips I
took with it. The Fit, along with the Civic and the Toyota Corolla and
Yaris, can get upwards of 40mpg if not more.

You either got a rare lemon, or your dealer was incompetent.

Actually, the Fit has been around for about 5 years in other countries
(known as the Jazz in some places) and has proven to be just as reliable as
most other Hondas. The Aveo is built by Daewoo, a Korean company who
products, unlike Hyundai for example, are not of the high Korean quality you
speak of. If you haven't had any problems with your Aveo yet, you can
consider yourself lucky for the moment.

I wasn't complaining about the long wait; the only Honda dealer in my area
has about 4 of them on the lot. Somebody else was lamenting about it. But
like I said above, the Fit (Jazz) has been around longer elsewhere and has
been reliable as expected.

Shoot, my 2000 Accord got 35mpg--in the middle of summer, on the freeway
through mountainous terrain (US 68 through WV/MD).

Buy a 4 cylinder, manual transmission Accord and get Fit-type mileage
with a nicer car.

I don't think I can get an Accord anywhere near the price of the Fit,
but the manual transmission is a killer. I love them, in fact my
Accord is the first car I ever got with AT, but neither my Significant
Other, nor any of my friends, can drive MT and that's a problem.

About seven years ago I broke an ankle at a convention and only one
girl out of fifty something people could drive my car. That's why I
got the Accord with AT. Besides that, almost all my driving is in New
York City and MT is a pain in that kind of driving.

Re: Still no Fit
 

Well checkout the new message on this board regarding a 1998 Accord with a
blown engine head gasket.
Overheated Engine 98 Accord..I think dated today the 17th...
Please don't tell me the Honda's are that great. A blown head gasket at
such low mileage and of course out of warrantee is something that Honda's
seem to do a lot.
You might want to think about the Chevy Aveo instead of the FIT. Just a
suggestion...

Well checkout the new message on this board regarding a 1998 Accord with a
blown engine head gasket.
Overheated Engine 98 Accord..I think dated today the 17th...
Please don't tell me the Honda's are that great. A blown head gasket at
such low mileage and of course out of warrantee is something that Honda's
seem to do a lot.
You might want to think about the Chevy Aveo instead of the FIT. Just a
suggestion...

Compared to Aveo and other Daewoo-built cars, they ARE great. Why is it
that Honda has a proven reputation for reliability and Daewoo and GM don't?

Um, no, not a lot. In most cases, it happens when they are old; this
particular car is almost 9 years old. Also, head gasket failure is likely
to occur on any car by any manufacturer when it gets old (although the Neon
and Cavalier/Sunfire were known for early head gasket failure).

Moreover, the problem with this '98 Accord has NOT been officially
determined to be the head gasket yet.

No thanks. Like I said, you've been lucky with your Aveo so far. No car is
going to be 100% problem-free, but Hondas have been proven to last much
longer and go much further before the problems start to mount than most
other makes--especially proven ultra-junk like Daewoo (who made your Aveo).
And like I said earlier, the Fit has been around for years in other
countries and has proven to be very reliable.

And here's a suggestion: Shut up and haul your trolling ass out of here.

You can add that it is the driver's responsibility to maintain and
monitor his vehicle. All cars approaching ten years of age are subject
to hose failures and radiator plugging, both of which can quickly lead
to head gasket failure. I would venture the opinion that is exactly what
happened. Thermostat failure is also a possibility but is infrequent as well.
