Possibly in the market for a Fit

Hello, new to the site but not new to Hondas. Currently I'm driving a 2004 6 speed CGP TSX(heavily modded). I'm looking at picking up a 2010 as a third vehicle for me and the wife. I spend most of my time on tsxclub and acurazine.

What are You looking to do with it? It kinda doesn't matter. . Its great for pretty much anything. I like it so much, that when a buddy of mine totaled my 2008 , I got right in a 2010

I'm mainly looking to use it as a daily driver. I'm sure I will do all sorts of cosmetic/suspension stuff to it but I plan to leave the engine/exhaust alone. Once I get my JDM goodies for my TSX (Euro R bumper and lip kit) I really don't want to drive it on the highway too much. I drive about 60 miles a day round trip(all highway).

Well the wife threw me a curve ball and said she would be okay with me buying a used (6-7 year old) S2000. So now I have a tough decision to make. A brand new Fit sport or older S2K Keep in mind I'm keeping my TSX.

I'd rather have an s2k but it sounds like you need a DD

The S2K would be my daily. Well, I'd actually switch off between it and my current vehicle. I'd like to take the tsx to the next level by way of a CT-E supercharger or custom turbo set-up.
I love everything about the Fit, except it not possibly having enough power for me. Well, I have another month to think about it. I'm not dead set either way yet.

If you get GD3 (07/8) there are turbos and superchargers made for it

Wow that's a tough decision! I like both the AP1 S2000 and GD3/GE8 Fit...don't scoff on me now, but both the AP1 and GD3 are my dream rides.

It could go either way really. It depends what you're using your cars for. The TSX (I always liked the first-generation ones) is a comfortable middle-of-the-road kind of car, rather sporty and rather spacious but a bit of a compromise really.

The AP1 is an out-and-out sports car but impractical for just about anything other than a weekend trip. The GD/GE is slow - no getting around that, at least out of the box - but fuel efficiency and space are its USPs. Both are good handlers though.

Well the TSX is already modded. Only need CT-E supercharger kit or K-Pro and custom turbo.

current mods are. Comptech Ice box, CT-E header, RT cat, Apexi WS2 exhaust, UR pulleys, Hondata Reflash, Hondata IM gasket, PR2 TB spacer, CT-E short shifter, PR2 shifter bushings, Buddy Club N+ coilovers, Mugen GP wheels and a set of Work XT7 wheels, Aspec lip kit, Mugen grill, Mugen visors and more...

here are some pics:

so whatever I get I'd like to leave semi-stock. Love the fit as I said but it just seems that I'll have to put more into it to get what I want out of it. I keep going back and forth.
