I see a Versa SL with CVT in your future...

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...

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.

Excuse me? You presented misinformation about head gasket failures while
being ignorant to the fact that the Fit was around for quite a while before
arriving in North America. Don't go saying that I lost credibility when you
are the one who doesn't know the facts.

You lost all credibility anyway when you recommended the Aveo over the Fit.
