Honda Fit ( CEZA ) maayos ba?

[emms1121]

I have been to Sta. Ana, Cagayan and contemplating on buying honda fit as 2nd car. Any advice on this unit? Meron palang 4wd nito na 1.3 at dami pagpipilian puro sariwa pa.

imported Honda Fit? converted RHD to LHD?

[emms1121]

Yes sir. Converted ito.

[ghosthunter]

Yes sir. Converted ito.

unless everything was converted to LHD, it might just be a hassle.

everything should include:
-hood, trunk, gas-cap release levers,
-AC controls
-dashboard (not the chop-chop style)
-side mirrors (RHD version are angled differently)
-headlights (RHD version are angled differently)
-if A/T, the A/T shifter should be LHD version, not just a rotated RHD shifter handle.

Thanks sir GH. Ang procedure kasi doon you have to pay a reservation for a RHD unit na napili mo. After 1 month saka mo babalikan. May plaka na at converted. I think I can't be assured na maganda nga pagka convert pag ganito sistema. May narinig din ako na bawal na putol sa mga mechanical parts. Dapat daw original left hand drive na pyesa na gagamitin sa pagconvert. Totoo kaya ito?

Only by paying them would you find out if you can trust their word.

If they can not be trusted, it would already be a month too late to get your money back.

Basically you are paying for a product you haven't seen.

I would rather spend more money on a local unit that I can see and inspect before buying.

+1.

I'd love to see the hack job they're doing with the electric steering rack... Weld. Weld... oops... we accidentally shorted out the servo...

Also consider:

You're buying a 1.3 AWD? Automatic?

If so, the automatic transmission in the JDM Jazz/Fit isn't the same as the CVT in the old one. Of course... this means it doesn't suffer from CVT issues... but if and when it breaks, there are no parts locally for it, as it's not the same as the one in the old City, the City/Jazz that came out with the CVT or the new five-speed City/Jazz.

And even if you're not buying AT... there's the AWD. Absolutely no parts locally. You're reliant on a Cagayan or specialist importer to bring in parts if it breaks. The rear suspension will be slightly different and may need different parts when it eventually goes on our local roads.

Annnnnd.... AWD is great in a car like the Mitsubishi Evo... whose 300 hp roasts tires when it's installed in a FWD Lancer... and really needs the extra traction provided by AWD. In a small, underpowered car like the Jazz? All it'll do is make the car heavier and suck gas.

Just buy a local 1.3 MT Jazz. Great economy. Parts are readily available. No major maintenance foibles.

Thanks guys for the advise. I guess I have to forget about my plan .
