If it is in your price range and it has enough passenger/cargo space for your needs.. the RDX SH-AWD would be a nice DD. K23 Turbo FTW!
Post more pics of the Sprint! Engine bay shots? What size compressor?

Sorry, not gonna happen
Just kidding man! Honestly, if it were me, I'd have to make a choice on all of your cars. You have 4 cars among 2 people and you want a 5th. You mentioned that you'd like something with a good suspension- the Fit suspensions are a bit stiff even from the factory. I'd probably get rid of your cars and get something larger and upscale on the used market. An RDX or X3 maybe?
I don't really want a 5th (already have another 2 that I haven't even mentioned before)
What I want is to trade a daily driver that doesn't get alot of use, for one that can potentially do as much or more for me and cost less.
RDX I hate the looks of, X3 is too much money for what it is.
The Infiniti Ex35 however = I ABSOLUTELY LOVE!!!!, and it would do everything I'm looking for
However, anything like the EX35 / RDX etc... is actually more money (here in Canada) than my current car.
The whole point of this excercise (trading down) is to free up cash for an investment property / cottage / Freedom 50 etc........

990cc Turbocharged and intercooled inline 3 (SOHC 6 valve)
My Dad bought brand new as a toy (to terrorize neighborhood kids in their CRX's) - I got it 2 years later when I was in Senior year of Highschool.
its done the following for me
-autocross duty
-13hr drive roadtrip duty
-track car duty
-daily driver
-I.A.S.C.A caraudio competition duty (14th place worldwide in class 1995 (after only 6 shows))
etc......
its got about 130,000km (81,000miles) / it still has its original paint and other than some interior stuff and a few minor paint blemishes its in really good shape.

JDM Honda ITR wheels with OEM tires (gonna have rims redone and swap to Toyo 195/45/15's)
old old picture (circa 1996)
in 2001 (with my Canadian Special Edition Civic Hatch)
Engine Bay shot (circa 1996 ish)
First version of my audio install (circa 1995 ish) (it changed pretty frequently)
Getting Judged at a Triple Points I.A.S.C.A event on Long Island 1995 or 1996(I won my class (by ALOT!) )
With what I've done to it (and with some stuff waiting in the garage) it's probably at around 110hp (crank) and 100lb/ft trq.
Keep in mind though that it only weigh's about 1560lbs (for example: thats almost 1000lbs lighter than a Fit with almost the same power)
