Your previous cars before the Fit?

I'm curious what everyone drove before their Fits. I've had: 2002 Toyota Echo, 2005 Scion Xb, 2005 Toyota Corolla, 2007 Toyota Yaris, 2007 Honda Fit, 2010 Honda Fit, and 2013 Honda Fit. I liked each one in their own way with the Corolla and Yaris being my least favorite. All were manual except the Corolla and Yaris.

BTW I love my new 2013 Fit Sport it's perfect for what I need being retired and all :)

Oh well heres another one. Being 60 the list is long. From a 55'chevy, Mini Coopers, Shelby Mustangs, Land Rovers, etc. Fit's up there for fun factor and versatility. Wish they made em' when I was in high school.

This was mine: a 1999 SX8 Honda City 1.5 EXi in royal sapphire blue.


As you can probably tell, it's a rebuilt, re-released EF Civic for the ASEAN region. Honda gave it struts at all four corners instead of the EF's wishbones. It's lighter (970 kg), peppier and rides a little cushier, but the GD1 is more frugal, has better torque and outhandles the City. I have fond memories of the SX8 and it introduced me to Honda goodness, even without VTEC.

5hp Honda powered 1/4 midget ( I started driving it at 4.5 lol)

1936 Rolls-Royce 25/30 (My dads first car and then mine, if you can double clutch/rev match/down shift this thing you can drive ANY manual)

1983 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4. Had the 2.3L pinto engine with a tiny 2 barrel carb... and 8" combined suspension and body lift, straight axle front conversion and 36" boggers... Looked AWESOME but got NO MPG and barely did 55mph

1986 Jaguar XJ6. Loved the ride and being the 2nd owner, and everything working including the SUPER '80s on board trip comuter. Hated 11mpg and being nickled and dimed to death... and going through 3 trannys...

The Fit is my first "modern" car, and after the auto cruiser Jag, down right sporty LOL

2001 Civic EX coupe.
I miss the car but I'm so glad I grew out of it. I was in highschool and I played too much Need For Speed Underground at the time.

Lessee...

'84 Mazda 626 LX coupe
'96 Geo Prizm
'01 Chevy Prizm LSI
'12 Honda Fit

The Prizms are, of course, rebadged Corollas. All stick shifts except the '02—I really don't have a strong preference one way or the other.
