I currently have an EK Civic, would like a Honda Fit but can't afford one atm, a decent-shape used one is around $8000 and my budget is around $4000. I love the driving feel of the EK, but is is a bit slow and I do need something with 4 doors that can carry a little more.
Looking at one of the later models, 2002-2003, any issues to look out for? Besides the obvious which is high km/burning oil, rust, leaks etc. Will probably get it dealer inspected but it would be good to know what I should be looking for. Only interested in the 5-spd btw.

A very solid car with no really issues. I have one for my winter DD and it has served me good. Just check for oil burning on the ones that are 200,000kms + and check to quarter panel rust.
