Cleared the codes, also didnt know he had a cat code as well. Not sure if it came back.
The other cool thing about these newer cars is that they have a maintenance minder system built in.
It tells you what service is coming up next depending on how you drive.
So other than oil changes, not sure whats next with that mileage.

I'll have to get the code checked soon to make sure it's nothing serious... just in case it's not the cat code.
The maintenance minder is nice. I really only use it for oil changes, which is probably bad... but it's helpful. I don't have to keep track of mileage... just change the oil when it gets down to 15-20%!
Spark plugs are going to need to be changed again soon. I'm still on my 2nd set!
SEgirl, my AC compressor went as well. Twice, sorta. The first time was the coil. Second time it just crapped out completely. Blower failed around 188k... and it's been making noise for the past 70k or so now. Still works, so until it gives out, I'm not changing it! That's not terribly difficult to change, thankfully.
Been through two clutches (broken, not worn... I feel they're defective, as I'm not THAT hard on them...) and one shifter mechanism. By the way, Garden State Honda in Passaic, NJ can suck a big fat one.

I was not a happy camper when it went out. Primarily because I'm in Florida and need the a/c, and secondly because I just expected more life out of it. Both of my 93's still have their original compressors at 212K and 320K. Only have about 10K miles to go before it's completely out of warranty, so if it goes again, hopefully it'll be before that.
My biggest complaint about the car is windshield noise that comes out of the passenger side. It was crazy making to the point that I was ready to trade the car in, and there were pages and pages of people complaining about the same thing in the FitFreak forum. I ended up paying for a new windshield out of pocket and had the guy put all kinds of extra sealant in that area and that took care of it. However, it just started up again last month, probably due to the cold weather. My dd is fairly short, so I can manage most of the time, but on 5+ hour drives, it's crazy making.

I sold the Fit to Julianachos earlier this year, shortly before my wedding. It looked like ASS when I handed it over. I asked less than 10% of what I paid for it back in 2008, and almost felt guilty asking that much!
It had 390,000 miles on it when I passed the torch. As of writing this, it has a little less than 415,000. To my knowledge, still running quite well without any issues. Julian fixed it up cosmetically to the point where I don't even recognize it anymore. Truly impressive!
These pictures are from Facebook, so they'll probably disappear in a short while... but for now, check out how nice he's got my old beast looking! I'm glad I sold it to Julian. It's nice to see this car get a second chance at life!

Glad to hear your Fit is still out and about and running. Still have mine and it's got close to 150K on it. I don't drive it much, as my 91 accord is my DD. While I really have no complaints about the Fit mechanically, I'm always amazed at how noisy it is after driving a cb7. There are so many rattles and I swear a window must be down from all the wind noise. However, can't beat if for gas mileage and cargo space so we'll be keeping it for a while.

I'll get the A/C fixed before I decide to buy wheels though...
