2008 Honda Fit Sport 5MT.

I was originally looking for another 93-97 Prizrolla to daily, but couldn't find one in my area that wasn't overpriced and/or rotted out, and I didn't have time to get one out of state. Spotted this on a Toyota used lot, checked it out and fell in love. Surprisingly similar in virtue to the Prizrolla, just newer and nicer with more utility.

This will replace my 2002 WRX Wagon as a daily driver. I'll miss the Subi, but it's been corroding rather quickly the past couple winter and with 182K is starting to need some attention. Also, after moving a year ago to an area where I have a 100% city commute, a daily driver that barely gets 20 in the city on premium became impractical. The money I save on gas can go into my house and my project cars.

And copious amounts of sound deadening. Underpowered and really loud were my complaints for the Fit. This would fix both complaints!

You're worse than an enabler you're a bad influence!

The K20 would make a lot more peppy tho...

Get a rear sway bar for it. It makes a huge improvement in the handling dept. I miss everything about my Fit except it being an awful car on the highway.
