90,000
#42
36,000 miles in 19 months. I just replaced the stock Dunlops w/Yokohamas. Aside from routine maintenance, the only time it's been to the doctor was for a O² sensor and to have the TPMS reset when I changed rims.

I just passed 100,000 miles. I got my car April of 07. For the first 20,000 or so miles I was delivering pizza.
I haven't had to do a single thing to my car other than oil changes. I'm just now going to do my front brakes and change spark plugs, and then I'll do a manual tranny fluid and coolant flush in the Spring.
I've had zero problems. The only thing that sucks is, like others, I have worn through the floormats AND carpet where the pedals are.
I've noticed since I bought it that the A/C sucked but I think that's normal. I like freezing cars. I have to keep it on full blast just to keep slightly cool in 90 degree heat.
Anyone recommend spark plugs?

Get your valve clearances adjusted. It's recommended service at 110k. It solved my problem with rough idle and cold stalls. Of course I've got new coil packs and have had my fuel system pressure flushed, so they probably helped. But the valve adjust made the biggest diff.

90k, sweet!
I'm at 55k w/my 07 Fit S that I bought at in Oct 06; just changing original oil w/M1 at 1st oil change and syn ever since.
On 2nd set of tires after wore-out 1st factory set at 27k and replaced with Nitto Neo Gens.
Trying to decide on the next set of tires, what to get.

i did the valve adjustment and it cured the issue however it started miss firing on me i replaced the spark plugs and still doing it. so now its at the dealership again trying to find out what seems to be the issue. maybe my coils are bad??!!

U should do some maintance on it to keep it running smooth. Transmission,Airfilter,Spark plugs and wires,brakes and check suspension under the car, hoses. Maybe do a radeator flush as well. I have a toyota previa with a 187k miles on her right now still running strong. Dam some of u never drive the fit my S i just bought a year ago and it has 17kmiles on it

Excellent to hear about the reliability of the Fit. My '08 Fit S has around 28k miles. I only got that high because I was working a job for 2 months that had an 1.5 hour commute each way. I love driving my Fit, but haven't had the time to go on any road trips.
When I bought my Fit, I also got the extended warranty. I remember the sales lady saying that mechanically, a Honda is solid. The extended warranty is helpful for covering the computer systems that operate the Sport Shift and that if something goes wrong in the circuit board, your looking at a minimum of a couple grand to replace. So that sales pitch and plus the lengthy loan I took out sold me. Should I have gone with a manual trany, I just might have opted out of the extended warranty.
Anyone with over 100k miles and a Sport auto trany that can report if there has been any issues or extra maintenance needed?

* If u frequently drive in mountain,hill area, change transmission fluid at 60k miles & then every 30k miles later. If u doesn't drive in those condition much, change yr fluid when "3" code appear in yr maintenance minder
* Also note some maintenance that is independent from MM: change Brake fluid every 3 years, inspect idle speed every 160k miles, adjust valves during code A, B, 1, 2, or 3 if noisy

I am approaching the 130,000 mi milestone. I had plan to sell/trade at 130K, but car is running just to good. I am changing out the struts/shocks this weekend, I think they are getting a bit tired. I really only have one complaint and maybe this is just my car, cause I have had it serviced, and that is on very warm days 95 F. plus, the AC just doesn't cut it. Short of that, I know this will be a 300K plus car- no problem .

I'm approaching 100k. I have another thread going about a potential transmission issue I'm having. Seems to be intermittent.
Aside from that, it's running very well mechanically.
My only nits would be:
a) AC power. I agree, the air conditioning is weak, but to be expected I guess in such a pint sized car.
b) Tire wear. My second set of tires (Goodyear Responsedge) developed a slight cupping of sorts on the inside edges of the tires which creates some roadnoise. I did not adhere to a strict rotational schedule, so this is likely my own fault.
