Question 2

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2016 Honda Shuttle in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Cold-test the hybrid dual-clutch in traffic. Crawl the front splitter and sills — 130mm clearance and JDM rust both matter. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2016 Honda Shuttle a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2016 Honda Shuttle was never sold NZ-new. Every example here is a JDM GP7/GP8 wagon on the third-gen Fit platform — usually a 1.5 i-DCD hybrid, sometimes a 1.5 petrol CVT, occasionally a GP8 4WD hybrid.
