As far as I know...... Subic imports are treated with special conversion kits (which i don't if they really exist), early ones rely on welding. Cagayan imports vary, some welding, some conversion kits......

basta maayos ang pili ng unit, an import fit won't give you problems any different from a local unit.

i see lots of negative "don't buy imported fits!" here and at HCP. sometimes i think that they own a local jazz at ayaw nila bumaba resale value. gusto nila yung '00 model jazz nila pag binenta nila 550K pa din (compared to imports, which cost about 250-350 lang). parang yung mga pajero nun... dami nagsabi na panget, pero andami pa din bumili, at andami pa tumatakbo sa daan ngayon. mas marami pa nga 96 body pajero na import kesa local ang nakikita ko sa daan ngayon.

or, bibili ka local na artificially high ang presyo (the fit is an econobox, nothing special about it) pero flooded naman. in one year putuk lahat ng IC sa ECU mo bili ka sa casa 5 digits din yan.

basta, choose carefully the unit you want to buy. pa-angat mo sa gas station kung pwede, and inspect the undercarriage for shoddy welding (dapat wala na welding, local powersteering kits na gamit dito eh), mis-aligned joints, or uneven tyre wear.

tapos, test drive! liko sa kaliwa, kanan, preno ng malakas, etc... kung may kalampag, pwede ipaayos pero gamitin mo para makatwad sa presyo... tignan ang aircon kung malamig, kung may usok na puti sa tambutso, o kaya may weird na noise sa makina.

personally, i recommend the fit AWD. wala dito nyan, and i'm sure matibay ito. honda isn't known for drivetrain defects, apart from defective trannies in the 96-98 civics here at accord sa US.

saw one at kamuning area. B plates, converted Honda Fit without mags (hubcaps lang). bukod sa ang daming rattles na maririnig sa labas, may visible white smoke pa sa exhaust (top overhaul panigurado). at ito pa..

may For Sale na nakakabit sa likod hahahaha.

depende sa pinanggalingan na country kung RHD ba. example kung US, wala nang conversion na nangyari diyan.

**harold13** · December 28th, 2010 03:37 PM

ahhh possible din pala na kung galing US. B plated din pala. not necessarily galing sa Japan. ganda ng umiikot na 350z dito sa manggahan pasig e.

I own a subic pajero and within 7 years of using it, i never encountered any major problem.
For me, nasa tamang pagtingin lang ng auto. Be it an import car or 2nd hand local unit.
First thing to look sa mga subic cars should be the conversion. Dapat talaga original LHD kits na ang nakalagay. Cut and weld is a no-no. Very risky.
