Honda Fit Hybrid Used car Review  

Yeah! This machine doesn’t Roar 😜

is it a good car? it sage gas?

Awesome bro .. safe driving

That’s unbelievable.. even the Toyota Yaris cross hybrid I heard was giving 3.5/100km

For long drives it’s pretty smooth and comfortable even for rear passengers spacious to carry luggage for small family trips Driver needs to attach a neck pillow or support as seats & neck rest are not that comfortable but if you take breaks between every 100 or 150 kms not a problem . As we need to maintain speed limit 100 kmph (here in New Zealand )it is pretty decent to drive only problem you face is uphill as you feel lack of power and need to accelerate . For normal roads it’s pretty decent even to overtake . It’s decent as a hybrid hatchback. But if you are frequently do long drives better go for SUV

Hey thanks for watching and finding this video interesting. I didn’t had any issues with transmission, regarding battery life I don’t think we can check when shopping used car always make sure it’s fresh import with service history and low kms on the road .. take a test drive of same vehicle you are purchasing for 20 minutes and asking for 3 to 6 months warranty after sales

Hey buddy thanks I only fill as per requirements mostly fill 18 L That last me for 340kms

It’s the one installed by dealer basic Bluetooth audio system with FM , touch response is average but does what it’s meant for .I sold the car no more in NZ moved to Australia . I don’t remember model.

You can easily use your hybrid car which is 70000 kms to 240000kms or upto 15 years from year of manufacture whichever comes first .Always buy cars 2016 & above and less driven kms , if you want to use for long run.

@@Drivediscoveryx cheers mate🙏🏼

It’s decent for its engine.. as it’s hybrid there will be lag, if you need power try sports mode

Honda Fit Hybrid uses an Earth Dreams 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine paired with a 7-speed DCT (dual-clutch transmission) and an internal high-output motor, IPU (Intelligent Power Unit) with lithium-ion battery, electric servo braking system with variable servo ratio control. The Aqua's 1.5-litre engine is mated to a CVT gearbox and utilises Toyotas third-generation hybrid synergy Drive system with a small 0.9 kWh nickel-metal hydride technology battery

I just had translation app on smartphone to read and change language watch my other video

Bro I use 91 fuel for my car

@@Drivediscoveryx cool cool. I’m going to collect my fit tomorrow afternoon. Exciting :)

@@jeffalert Congratulations bro .. Happy & safe driving 😊

@@Drivediscoveryx it drives fantastic, inside is bigger than most medium size sedan! FYI the car dealer told me to use 95, said it will make the engine burns smoother:)

@@jeffalert in japan 95 is equivalent to 91 here. They do the octane calculation differently

I got mine changed directly from dealer .. You can get it fine outside for $150 or I recommend install with android auto or apple car play for $400

You can use the car upto 150000kms or 15 yrs since manufactured whichever comes first

I didn’t faced this , My car is silent when I start no vibrations . I used it for 1.5 years then sold as I moved to Australia

As long as you don’t REVV the car will be in EV mode that means in low speeds and the more you revv and stop or brake regeneration kicks in to charge 🔋

I reckon it’s 6 or 7 inch don’t remember exactly

I tried by myself but was not successful.. you can try with Honda dealership

Try using the "Google Translate" ap. Select Japanese to English. Point phone at text and it will convert on screen.

The Bluetooth was working fine with both android & apple phones

@@Drivediscoveryx Cheers mate!

The whole unit the dealer replaced as we can’t change Japanese language in it . You can get Android auto installed instead of Bluetooth infotainment system to access gmaps

@@Drivediscoveryx Actually the default infortainment can be changed to English. There are videos showing that in youtube

@@maxwellmaragia2272 if they can then it’s good but the one I saw was annoying

I heard about it that the prices for used cars are high in Australia when compared to New Zealand .. thanks for sharing

Aussie import dealers are thrify mate, they screw around import car prices a lot !!

Fuel economy is 18 to 21 kmpl depends on driving conditions. Dealer details in description

@@Drivediscoveryx that 18 to 21 kmpl is it even in town city with normal traffic jams like in Kenya?

@@josephmurathi8512 I don’t know about Kenya’s traffic jams , but in bumper to bumper traffic everyday this car still manages to give you a good mileage.

The dealer from whom I purchased changed stock Japanese Infotainment to Regular Bluetooth English version one

No I Bought in Oct 2021 by then it didn’t started

I bought mine in 2022. Can you tell me How to get a rebate? Thanks

You can run car on regular fuel but mileage differs

No , The regular Bluetooth one

You can get apple at play installed in $500 OEM one

@@Drivediscoveryx can opt to change for the apple car play version?

@@iqmalanderson176 NOVINO Motors installed my car with Bluetooth Infotainment as the original one was Japanese language.

Eco mode saves on fuel improves mileage but lacks power

You won’t get a spare tyre in Honda Fit Hybrid You get a Tyre repair kit . It can repair tyre tread punctures upto 4 mm in size in about 10 minutes

I bought for $12500 fresh import

@@Drivediscoveryx Thank for ur response really appreciate sir 😊 GBU Greeting from Malaysia 🇲🇾

@@Drivediscoveryx How much Case it went ??

@@sairamreddy1724 I didn’t get you CASE?

It’s 2016 Fresh import from Japan NZ first registered

@@Drivediscoveryx OK thanks, same as the one I'm seeing. On Utube there are some comments saying that the battery blower becomes very hot and makes a humming noise as it needs to be cleaned. Also the IMA light comes on and will not go away after this happens. Have you had any issues with that please? Thanks again for your reply.

@@tik4su No I never faced any such problems in this 7 months of usage

OK....great to know....thank you and have a great weekend.

Removed the Japanese infotainment and installed English version. The Tachometer display you can only change time rest are all still Japanese written

I heard they r now giving clean car rebates .

@@Drivediscoveryx do you why i can't find this car in the stock, their website is playing up.

@@ThePunjabWay You contact them directly , they don’t update in their website frequently
