I’m thinking about Honda Fits as replacement car for my Focus. One that has caught my eye is a blue 07 with 125k miles. It’s an auto-tragic so the wife can drive it. What things should I look out for? Timing belt or chain? Ad says ATF was changed at 100k; is this a normal interval? Any particular areas that are prone to rusting to look out for?

Thanks,

Mike
