In Reply to: RE: Good call! ... and with the rear seat design in the modern Fits... posted by mhardy6647 on June 08, 2021 at 17:16:03
1) Finding one with a manual transmission.
2) Finding one that isn't rusting out. Up here in the snow belt, Fits have a tendency to rust in the rear quarter panels around the wheel openings after only three or four winters.
The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
Follow Ups:
Up here the US brand name pickups have serious rust after 3 to 4 years.
Not hard to find manuals here, either -- folks up here are flinty.
Our son's was bought in the DC suburbs, FWIW -- obviously not recently, though.
all the best,

and probably half of them have rust coming through the rear quarter panel ahead of the rear wheel openings.
My next door neighbor's daughter bought one new--it was first generation--and I got to watch the rust progress first hand. She traded it in for an (ugh) HRV.
The powers that be use salt brine on the roads around here. Some kind of program called "Clear Roads" the goal of which is to have the roads completely clear of snow and ice at all times.
So they use brine instead of cinders or rock salt and that stuff penetrates where regular salt can't. If you don't get the underside of the car cleaned regularly, it'll rust.
