I maintain that the Honda Fit is the spiritual successor to old school Civics. It's 90s economy car small while being endlessly practical and surprisingly playful in the corners. The torsion bar suspension in the back is nothing compared to the multi-link found on Civics, but like the Fiesta ST, that doesn't make it any less fun. It's a damn shame they discontinued it in the US.

I'm glad you guys have finally shown the Fit some love! Not only did you include it on the list, but you made it the very first one. I've got a 5 MT GE8 (2nd gen) Sport model with 212k miles on it, and I don't plan on replacing it any time soon. The quick steering ratio and stiff frame give it the handling characteristics of a roadster.

You're right. Horsepower is nice though but it's only really useful for competition. If you're just trying to enjoy yourself a solid platform is usually all that I've ever needed.

I'd like to add an even more slept on car I owned years ago when I was in college, the manual Scion tC. Hear me out, you are essentially getting the larger displacement Camry engine with a shorter base and lighter Corolla chassis. The care come stock with 21mm sway bars and has a very affordable TRD Lowering spring that you can add that will make the care actually rotate around corners. I remember taking my tC to autocross and flat out embarrassing porsches, Camaros, corvettes, S2000s, and 370z when I beat the majority of them and finished in 12th place out of 58 participants. People thought I had a turbo, or some crazy sticky tires but I was practically stock and just running some performance all seasons tires. Car was anemic in s strait line but around corners it felt like a classic JDM tuner car. Those cars where widely slept on. Affordable, easy to work on, cheap parts, looks halfway decent, and actually had roomy cabin for its size. At the time and even now it cost less than a honda fit and is still faster, only downside is the aftermarket isn't that good. The tC gets slept on because it is too sporty for casual buyers who just want a transportation appliance like a Civic, but isn't sproty enough to be wanted by enthusiasts, so it sits in the middle ground where it get ignored and forgotten. Highly recommend it as a first car for someone in highschool or college.

Immediately starting with the Fit, def solidifies my choice of wanting one before realizing I need a bit more cargo space than the Fit gives and the HRV came out.

I had a previa as my first car. Here in Australia it's called a Tarago. I had a lot of fun in that car. Changing the spark plugs can be done from under the right hand side seat. Once you remove the seat there is a cover under the seat that is removed to reveal the coilpacks and spark plugs. From memory, there is also an oil door in the centre floor under the carpet that is easier to access for obvious reasons.

It's only just now needing a fix, it's just been standard oil changes and the like these past 14 years.

The CX-3 really drives (and looks) like hatch more than a cross-over. 30 MPG, jumps through the gears in sport mode and it surprisingly zippy for a 150hp engine, Mazda styling and interiors are some of the best in the biz in my opinion.

Justin really grew into his role in Donut. Great addition!

I had a 2005 Volvo S80 with the 5 cylinder turbo (~210hp) as my first car, and it was a shockingly nice car to drive and was even decently fast for a car like that

When the Fit was just about to 1st come to the USA, I still had an old Autocross/Solo-2 car I had returned to stock, an 89 Civic Si hatch. Loved that car, but I needed new and was sad I couldn't just buy it again. Out of curiosity, I got a spec sheet for the Fit and it was astonishing how closely it numbers matched the Si. Chassis dimensions, weights, nearly everything. So I drove one: you sat higher in the Fit, just as quick but less rev-happy, a bit more body roll, better brakes. If the Fit came out in 1990 promoted as a hot hatch, it would be legend. Same car in 2005 (?) promoted as a MPG buggy gets no props. It's all in your mind. Great car. Who cares who knows as long as you do.

Makes a great high rpm hill climbing engine in the mountains, and when you get that i-vtec engaging is an amazingly smooth feeling. Gotta love lightweight and nimble cars.

I love seeing you guys finally talk about your Previa! As an owner of one, they are actually pretty easy to work on for the most part.

We all had to ride in someone's silver diesel HiAce with a manual that would have looked a lot better if it didn't have tasteless cosmetic mods and it was just stock. I was thoroughly impressed of how good of a highway missile it was. It climbed the steep uphill roads of the island without any problem because it had so much torque and handled turns pretty well too.

My aunt had an s80. Didn't really look the part, but that car was pretty fun to drive. Stuck to the road wayyyyy better than you would have thought.

absolutely love my v6 avalon, the camrys bigger brother. does not turn at all its an absolute boat but because the 2gr is the same engine as in a lotus exige theirs actually a little bit of aftrmarket support for it. with intake, exhaust, and nd stage 2 cams its making 320ish and its such a sleeper, faster than most things in a straight line anything that isnt a v8 charger/mustang or around that performance level. and then you get on the highway and set your cruise control and it eats all the bumps and its a fantastic ride. i couldn't ask for a better daily driver

The only down side I could find is that the suspenssion is quite stiff and should have better milage for being such a light car. But apart from that it's an overall fun car I love it

Another good car is the 2013-2019 Ford Police Interceptor Sedan. Most were outfitted with awd and had a 3.5 v6, 3.7 v6 or a 3.5 tt v6. Really fun to own and use and best of all they’re around 5-7 for one. Got mine with a clean title and no accidents for 5k

😊 I did something like this in the '80s. What I really wanted was maybe a 'Cuda 340 but I couldn't afford one. So I ran across a '64 Valiant with a 4-speed and a seized 273 V8. The body was great, with very nice paint. I found a wrecked '71 Duster 340 that a guy was parting out. Pretty soon, my Valiant was 340 powered with the original '64 4-speed. Later I swapped on front disc brakes and a posi 8¾" rear axle. Using my cousin's tube bending equipment I made front bucket seat frames from 1¼" aluminum tubing and sheet aluminum. I took out the back seat and made my own super-lightweight one also from aluminum tubing and lawn-chair webbing, with my own upholstery. With those changes, an aluminum intake, headers, and an aluminum bellhousing the car weighed 2724 lbs. I wish I had taken it to the track and tried it on the ¼-mile. What a fun car! I wish I still had it.

I'm six feet tall, and I have two brothers who are taller than me. They are both broke, but they need a car, and I keep telling them _both_ to buy a Honda Fit. I sat in one at a car show in 2018, and my mind was forever changed on the car. They're so much roomier inside than you might think at first glance, especially for tall people sitting in the backseat. One could say it really grew on me. Stinks they discontinued it. Everything Honda makes just keeps getting bigger and more upscale. I remember when you bought a stick Honda because it was one of the cheapest cars in the world and it would outlive your grandchildren.

I'm glad you guys finally made a video involving the Honda Fit. Bought my fit about a year ago and I absolutely love it. I sold my Toyota gt86 to get mine.

Thanks guys, really enjoyed your presentation!

Massive sleeper is the Cadillac STS. More powerful than the similar model years CTS and yet it wasn't as popular. The STS had two V8 variations, one was a supercharged 4.4l, the other a 4.6l, and a 3.6l V6. The naturally aspirated engine is responsive, and it handles great. Toss some racing coilovers on it and it corners even better. Stupid reliable, mine was running on 5 cylinders, had a massive oil leak, two water leaks, and now power steering when it came to me. I drove it like that for nearly a year before I finished her repairs.

Another honorable mention, a Honda Accord coupe with a V6 and 6 speed manual combination, especially the 2008-up models with the larger 3.5L V6. The ones equipped with the manual also don't have cylinder deactivation unlike the automatic versions which make the manual version a little more reliable.

I feel this. I had a 2005 Kia Sorento with a manual transmission that I had a blast with. Had weirdly short gearing that made it feel somewhat overpowered for what it was, a strangely competent 4WD system, and a great feeling shifts that were satisfying. Paid next to nothing for it so I didn't feel constrained to really be careful with it. I'd buy another one if I could find one.
