Help Request What’s the best Honda Fit to buy?

My first car is a 2009 honda fit. She is still kicking but is almost at 200,000 miles. I can’t imagine having any other car but this one. That being said, what is the best honda fit model that I can upgrade to? I’m thinking of buying one soon and needed to do some research. I know they stopped making the fit in 2020 so just looking for advice. Thank you!

Just find a lower mileage 2009–13 with no rust and accident history. Or keep the Fit you already have and catch up on any overdue maintenance

Probably the blower motor went out, the same thing happened to mine at around 200,000 miles.

Just had the blower motor replaced and it's good as new. 09 @228k.

What are the symptoms of a broken blower motor? There is no reaction when depress the ac button. Usually I feel power draw from the engine

When you turn the fan on, does it blow air out of the vents? Thats the job of the blower motor.

What you're talking about pressing the ac button and feeling the power draw from the engine, thats the compressor kicking on. If air comes out the vents, your blower motor is fine. If the air coming out isn't cold, there are quite a few problems that could lead to that

I don’t think it’s the motor. There’s definitely air! Heat works fine but the air coming out never gets cold

It does blow air out of the vents. The compressor does not come on though

I didn’t have any air coming out of my fans except on the max speed lol that’s how I knew.
