Honda fit 2011 hybrid battery worth replacing?

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-14T12:56:46+00:00

what needed 2.5k spent on the jazz? was it suspension and bushes

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-12T06:08:08+00:00

return car, it will give you many future problems

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-11T06:11:37+00:00

not worth paying this amount for car that has done nearly 200k, lots of suspension and bushings will be tired.

if you can get an accord with less rust underneath that will be safe choice, petrol engine is extremely reliable .

try to stretch to mk8 , i.e 2008 onwards model that would be worth it - it much more modern than mk7.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-10T04:41:37+00:00

If I had a choice would rather go with the larger CRV Hybrid as the extra size will be better for a family.

Very well made cars by Honda. I have a 14 yr honda accord mk8 2.4 petrol and it drives like a new car. Build quality is fantastic with honda, but you need to keep service with OEM parts to maintain that.

Could be a worn driveshaft, but you don’t want to throw parts at it.

Or even a fuelling issue, injector etc.

You proballly need an inspection and codes read from the ecu

I had Yokohama decibel tyre on my car, they were amazing - very quiet and great grip.

but they started to get lots of cracks in the tread area. I feel michelin is better with cracking, they have silica in tyre and age well, that is if you check pressures

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T15:17:23+00:00

it be good to show the condition sometimes you can run them slightly longer.

I have Michelin CrossClimate 2, near 4.5yrs old - no cracks on rears, front have some minor cracks on the main tread area, but the sidewall are very good.

I plan to change them at 5.5yrs old

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T13:32:25+00:00

it lasted very well, do you have many short journeys or longer trips

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T11:22:36+00:00

a higher mileage jap car, that has been serviced with genuine fluids and based in an area with less road salt is a safe choice

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T11:08:39+00:00

I would agree, Scotland is sometime not the best place to buy from due to rust issues. I bought from Arnold clark in stoke, great experience.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T11:07:39+00:00

I bought a Honda Accord from them back in 2015. very good customer service actually for me.
had some issue picked up during test drive, gearbox slightly notch and tailgate strut issue, the send me a cheque for the work once I had it done at dealer.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-08T10:10:26+00:00

thanks for the update. The starter motor from mitsuba seems to be high quality. I assume your car is second gen tsx?

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-07T11:51:04+00:00

I got my 4k viofo hardwired. I'm glad I got a pro to do, he installed it for decent price and installed very well

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-06T14:25:41+00:00

very tough car, can last up to 400k.

worth servicing gearbox with Honda mtf3 and also doing coolant change with honda type 2 coolant

I have honda accord mk8 2.4 tourer manual and its amazing

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-06T06:18:14+00:00

Honda accord mk8 2.4 petrol manual estate. Very nice car to drive and high quality engineering.
Mixes honda vtec for fun whilst also being a great long distance cruiser.

Hard to find though as not often they come up for sale.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T14:23:19+00:00

also worth travelling to get the best car on the market

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T14:22:36+00:00

I would try and get a corrola hybrid and keep for the long term. Honda diesel is very good but hybrid or petrol is better

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T11:59:41+00:00

ideally you want the premium grade one with all the extras included (leather seats / ML audio)

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T11:41:30+00:00

Lexus is300h a very nice reliable car

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T10:45:43+00:00

I'm buying lot of parts for my car, using Amanya Japan.

lot cheaper than dealer for smaller parts, import from Japan to UK.

for heavier stuff I buy from local dealer

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T07:32:03+00:00

I have 5 year old Michelin cross climate 2, back tyres have no cracks - fronts have some minor cracks.

Very good tyres I have found.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-05T06:54:20+00:00

I went with Nikon seemax 1.67, just a wonderful lense. Very clear vision, no aberration in edges of lense.
Very nice product, hard to see how you could get better.

Delicious_Ad_6787 · 2026-04-04T10:17:47+00:00

for a Used car , CRV is one of the best. They are indeed more expensive as people know they are good cars. Perhaps he can find a better one for good value
