I love the fact that you follow up a guy saying that he sold his Nissan for a Honda with a commercial for Nissan 😂

"There are no boring cars, just boring drivers" definitely needs to be a donut shirt

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.

I don't know who edited this, but I can tell they had a blast. 10/10 Editor. We love you

Justin quickly became my favorite person on Donut. What a great addition to a great team

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.

I honestly went into this thinking that you guys needed to have my car on the list only to see it as #2!!! The Volvo S80 w/ the V8 is only 2007-2016, also you absolutely want the AWD model, it’s the flagship top of the line model. I have the 2007 specifically. SUCH a slept on car. Currently looking into turbo’ing it as well as other custom upgrades. Super fun & agile vehicle & it’s fast as hell too, it’ll surprise you I promise. ❤ so happy yall included it.

Donut: used car prices are insane!
Also Donut: let's ruins a few used cars and explode their value 😂

[eliasmachalek]

It's not power you need for fun, it's lightness and nice suspension and I'm gonna die living on this hill

I got my aunt's 2008 fit as my first car and I'm still driving it! it's even been through a couple of accidents and runs like a dream, and i love that you can fold the seats all the way down

[NicePillow]

I was an avid viewer when Justin first came aboard and now he is one of my favorites. Great fit with the rest of the guys.

My man Felipe has that i_o hoodie AND a Honda fit.
A man of fine taste.

My two favourite pairs of presenters, two days in a row -- Zack and Jeremiah, and Nolan and Justin. Gotta love the current Donut roster <3

I worked for Toyota in the 90s-2000s. They sent some of us to Toyota training and we just happened to have one of the Previa engineers as an instructor. He was pretty damn proud of the Previa.

I got rid of my Fit for a Tacoma for work purposes. I really miss daily-ing a zippy little Fit in the city and being able to fit into any open parking spot, hence the name. Such a great car and has a surprising amount of cargo space.

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.

you guys have some of the best hosts on the internet. PLEASE bring back some of your staple series. I like these weird one-off shows but I crave stuff like B2B, MoneyPit, and anything with Zach Jobe. Give Justin his own series, love that guy! Also, great audio inside the Nissan!

[cameronmichael]

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

[ItzzShazey]

Finally some respect for the V6 Camry, like you guys said it doesn't look cool but it fricking moves! I still own an 07 Camry V6 and man does it make peoples jaws drop when I race and I am the one ahead of them.
