I had a 93 EJ1. H&R sport springs, 5Zigen exhaust, Buddy Club P-1's, Toyo tires, Momo wheel, Skunk2 knob, JDM corners, AEM short ram intake, upper tower bar, a few other little interior pieces here and there, and Relocated plate. The only thing I really miss is the sunroof.
For a couple months in between my Civic and Fit, I had a 92 S10. Skinned tailgate, lights, bumper, door locks, antenna, dropped 7", 17" polished centerlines, prelude buckets. It was a cool truck, but ran like shit and just wasn't my thing. So I ran kicking and screaming back to Honda. I was gonna get a DC2 then decided to go brand new and got the Fit.

My dad had one of those (a '77). It was very sneaky - you'd be humming along thinking you're doing 55 mph or so, look down at the speedometer, and find you were going 70. Good thing it was black instead of Arrest-Me Red or YO! OFFICER! Yellow.
He put Michelin TRX tires (and their special wheels) on it as well... they were sweet, but it was unfortunate that TRX was incompatible with everything else...
Anyway, my lists, starting with family cars:
'68 Corvair
'71 VW Bus with Corvair powertrain
'77 and '80 Celicas
The Bus was a hoot. The 90 MPH speedometer was wildly optimistic in a stock one, but the Corvair powertrain could peg the needle and continue accelerating - and that was the lowball 95 HP motor with a Powerglide 2-speed automatic. A Corsa motor (either 140 HP N.A. or 180 HP turbo) and stick shift would have been downright insane. If you didn't notice the Corvair cooling vents below the back bumper, you wouldn't suspect a thing. VW Bug drivers who tried to race it were in for a rude surprise.
Then it was time for me to buy my own cars...
'76 Toyota Corolla (1.6/4MT, red-and-rust, mostly rust)
'82 Mazda RX-7 GS (12A rotary/5MT, charcoal gray, lots of fun to drive, but the manual choke really sucked in winter)
'92 GMC Sonoma (2.8 V6/5MT, red, first new vehicle)
'00 Saturn SL (1.9 SOHC/5MT, silver, also bought new)
'10 Fit Base (5MT, white, and it outperforms the RX-7!)

Before I bought my Fit, I drove a 2008 MINI Cooper S w/mods. I miss the performance of the MINI but I love the economy of the Fit. Lower purchase price, lower insurance, much lower maintenance cost and the Fit runs on regular gas with better MPG.

I use to have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt. It wasn't a bad car but the pedals were horribly uneven. I decided to trade it in after my shoe became wedged between the pedals. I needed to brake and couldn't get my shoe out right away, I managed too free myself at the last minute to brake. I love my Fit!!

I had 05 9-3 Saab sedan, earlier to Honda Fit. I have to tell you it is one of the best cars very reliable, had no much problems with that. Its only few days since i bought Honda Fit, still not comfortable with Fit.
