Fit vs. CX

Yup, I definitely have a checklist of fairly easy and effective mods that I throw at any new car I get.

Your gearing change makes me wonder if a CX would outperform this Fit in the same conditions with the same mods.

There was a ~2000 Civic CX hatch around the corner that I went past for years. It seemed well looked after by its owners, and I always thought I should knock on the door and say, "If you're ever going to sell this, let me know..."

Too late! It disappeared from their driveway this spring.
