Thanks NOOK for enlisting us . Guess we'll have to give some input of the '11 base model FIT with a 5 speed auto that was purchased April 19th , 2011 . Their has been no issues as of yet at about 25,000 miles . Have only done D.I.Y. oil changes of 3 times with synthetic 0w-20 and Honda A02 oil filters . Have replaced the engine and cabin air filter twice . The front brakes may need to be resurfaced , expect that with all the dampness and road salt over the past few years . She drives it most of the time and it's her favorite car for the past 20 years . Will be hard to get her to part with it . The average gas mileage since new is 37 , here's some of the records at FUELLY , http://www.fuelly.com/driver/cinder/fit . Also logged calculated gas mileage before Fuelly . Have read that the auto tranny fluid should be replaced every 33,000 miles or so . This was discussed at www.bobistheoilguy.com under A.T.F. Differential , etc. . I think that the 1st generation had a timing belt . Go here for lots of info on the FIT , http://www.fitfreak.net/forums/ . The 1st generation FIT didn't have a C.V.T. here in the States . Good luck and let us know if you purchase the FIT and how it performs .

. .....and ....wow........37 MPG average....that's great...definitely on the high side of what I've happened to notice on Honda forums. Does she poke along like me at 55 to high 50s average speed on the freeway (in the slow lane), or is she getting that 37 combined average with a higher average freeway speed (60, 65, 70) when she happens to be on the freeway?
