At this time, I have a '93 Miata (black & tan) in addition to my '09 Fit Sport (MR). I've had several of the cars already mentioned over the years. Here's a partial list, in the order I've owned them:

'79 Honda Prelude
'78 BMW 320i
'85 Dodge Shelby Charger Turbo
'88 Acura Integra Special Edition
'90 Mazda Miata
'87 Mercedes Benz 190E 2.3-16
'00 Toyota Solara SE V6 MT (TRD springs & swaybar)
'03 Toyota Matrix XRS
'93 Mazda Miata
'09 Honda Fit

Of those, the Miatas have been my favorites. But the Shelby Charger, 190E 2.3-16 and Solara were also great fun. The TRD suspension really transformed the Solara.

Some really nice cars in this thread!

Here's a few of the more fun cars I've owned:

  • '71 AMC Javelin SST
  • Early 70's Porsche 914
  • '91 Honda CRX SI
the Honda CRXsi was my favorite as the Porsche 914 spent more time in the repair shop than driving it.

I have owned 7 vehicle in the past 10 years. Sadly, only one was really "fun". Tho I did have a lifted Jeep Patriot that we took on some trails a few times. That was fun offroad, but on road it was as boring as it gets.

My fun car was a 2003 Corolla 5mt. I know, sounds like a grandma car right?

Not quite tho, it had some mods.
TRD supercharger (with custom 10psi pulley)
Injen CAI
Greddy e-manage blue for tuning
Snow performance water/meth injection
DC sports header
magnaflow header back exhaust (no Cat)
Exedy 3 puck racing clutch
fidenza flywheel
TWM short throw shifter
Poly motor mounts, control arm, and sway bar bushings.
TRD springs
And a bunch of other small odds and ends that I can remember.

Sadly, I spent more time modding, and took hardly any pics. Here's what I could find tho.

I had a 2006 "S" the one thing I did regret was not having a manual transmission, if it did I might still own it today.

My 95 Miata is fun when I get to drive it. Does not come out in the bad weather. Tons of aftermarket parts (have to be careful not to overspend easy to do). Goes to the Dragon Tail every July since I have owned it.

I have a 98 Prelude along with my Fit. The Prelude was my previous daily driver until I decided I needed a more economic daily driver so I got the Fit.

Now the Prelude is my weekend/race/project car. I do frequent track racing and the Prelude is really fun for it. It's fully stock now but it still manages to be a great handling car.

The Fit is fun to drive and handles very well, but it is nowhere near the Prelude's handling.

I'm not sure that can be considered a fun car.

Yeah....auto + 2 tonnes + American = not fun. Your definitions of speed and handling are quite skewed.
