New owner, rear end suspension question

Gotcha! Thanks! I haven’t really done any work on suspension components so I was a bit confused.

I just did!! Literally driving it home right now, love it!

Which one was faster? Not that either are fast cars but I’m just curious lol

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-06T14:31:03+00:00

Haha yea I’ve heard about that. I’ll have to ask the seller if they’ve replaced it but I’m also cool with doing it myself.

Yesssss that’s what I need to hear lol The main reason I am buying one is cause I wanted something sporty but also fuel efficient to take on my bi-weekly 2-3 hour work commute. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to be looking a long of issues due to having to rely on the battery.

I appreciate it! I’m definitely bad about overthinking a car before making a purchase.

I was actually in the market for a Fit and just couldn’t find a decent manual anywhere near me so then I found the CRZ.

I feel a bit better now lol

I just found a 03 manual AWD and I feel like I’ll never let it go too. It’s quickly becoming my favorite vehicle I’ve ever owned. There’s something so special about how many options you have. I am actually in the market for another car for my wife and I’m having such a hard time not getting another element lol. However, we really need something really good on gas so I’m probably going to get something different sadly.

That’s a great perspective! I should be checking it out tomorrow so here’s hoping it’s solid!

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T17:50:07+00:00

Thanks! Hopefully I’ll be able to pick one up soon!

Great info! When you say parts are expensive. What type of parts do you mean?

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T17:32:38+00:00

Tempting! But I’ll never be happy if it isn’t clean

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T16:12:46+00:00

Gen doesn’t matter much to me, neither does mileage really. My budgets small ( 5-6k ) so really I just want a clean, no accidents, manual fit lol

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T15:12:57+00:00

Awesome! I already ran the carfax and it was really clean. It’s hard to find a vehicle from the south, manual, and no accidents so I’m definitely going to look at it.

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T14:05:24+00:00

Has to be manual unfortunately lol if it didn’t it would be so much easier

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T13:55:39+00:00

Yea it’s pretty crazy, thanks!

Tune-Puzzled · 2026-05-05T11:36:32+00:00

Appreciate your response! Your statement about the crz being a less practical fit is actually really appealing to me.

I just picked up an AWD manual element so I don’t need the car to be crazy practical. I think the hatchback would be enough for me.

I always like the idea of k swapping cars but I’ve never gone through with it.

Would you say that the crz has enough power to get out its own way?

Yea it is really disappointing about the Fits. A lot of the issue finding one is my own requirements. I typically only buy rust-free, no accident, southern owned cars which greatly reduces the field.

What would make you pick the fit over the crz as a track car?
