Did any of you here in SoCal ditch your luxury car for a fit? If so what was it? How did you like it? Did it get the gas mileage you wanted or expected? Did it perform how you liked? Whats your reason for rolling it down the highway? Whore out your old rides, for old times sake.

As for me, I gave the IS300 to my dad and sold the S2000. I absolutely loved both cars, but the economy is getting heavy... insurance blows ass, let alone pumping 75 dollars of gas in a Lexus every 5 to 7 days. I would drive the IS till the frame turned to dust if it just got 10 more MPG, but 800 dollars a month on payments, insurance and gas is a POS in my opinion.

I miss it a lot, but am getting more used to going back to Honda for a few years. I will always love Honda tho

 

Bump... i think the wrench meet thread is more of a threat to other threads. I think its stealing the light from newer posts. anywho. BUMP.

 

just got rid of my S2K for another fit.

 

had an '07 Ridgeline RTL w/ navi, foglights, sidesteps, retrax bed cover, bike carrier, etc. loved that car as well, but had to bite the bullet and think with my wallet.

 

yea same here. its a bitch.. thats life, freaken sucks.

 

if it counts at all i drove with my parents alot in the 330i while i had my permit, i fell in love but i wanted a manual... Good choice cause i wouldnt have been able to go ANYWHERE now that gas is insane

 

Had an Acura Integra if that counts as luxury. It was spiffy back in 1990 when I bought it. Then was just old when I finally sold it a year and a half ago to get my Fit.

 

had my 1999 honda prelude(lana) before the fit. Tranny blew while i was racing a corvette, i had to replace the tranny and sold the car because it started to get very unreliable. I will forever love you my h22 T__T

 

I used to drive an '06 Civic EX coupe with the HFP lip kit and rims. 25-27 mpg was great and all, but the space wasn't going to do with college coming up at the time. Traded it in (straight trade FTW) for my Fit right before freshman year started.

 

whyd you sell the s2k? the mpg on that cant be all that bad.. on my SI i get 27-28 mpg if I vtec once in a while.

i got 35mpg all freeway..

 

Nice topic. I gave it a 5-star rating.

'02 4x4 Prerunner.
'04 Sequoia.
'05 325i.
'06 325i Sport fully loaded.
'06 Civic coupe ex.

'07 Fit, '08 Yaris are at present.
I miss the '06 325i the most. It was a blast to drive. If I could
do it all over again, I would!

 

1998 Ford Ranger lowrider...

 

2004 Acura TL 6-Speed Manual....
---- me miss that car... but dont miss the gas payments!

 

if you have ever driven an s2k then you would know exactly why you get 22 -24 mpg. When you feel what VTEC REALLY FEELS LIKE and your hitting those close gear ratios in a feather light 240HP inline 4 RWD... then you KNOW i cannot drive like a ****eeen gramma. s2k is a car of cars in my world. PEDAL TO THE FLOOR.. NUTS IN THE TRUNK.

 

i wouldnt call it luxury but i had 3 eg civic hatchbacks. 92, 93, and a 95. my girlfriend wrecked one. i traded in one and now i still have one as a shell with a roll cage. fixing to convert it to rhd.

 

my gear ratios are just as close and and my car is lighter than an s2k =P

ive driven a couple, granted they wernt stock.. I feel claustrophobic in there.. im 6'2 ahah. i was thinking of getting an s2k as a weekend and a bike for daily =P

 

when i went to the dealer it was either get an s2k or my fit. i figured insurance would be cheaper if i got a fit and also i wouldn't get as many speeding tickets. if i got the s2k i would either be in jail or dead.

 

had a 4th gen before the fit, you belong to any po or scp?

 

haha well spoken. truth hurts. I freaken LOVE the s2k... plus imma sucker for RWD.

 

lol technically with an s2k it handles 3x better soooo you wont be dead.. just probably in jail.
