Well...I bit the bullet and bought myself a Honda. While looking for a daily driver I needed functionality and reliability. Throw in the fun of a 5 speed manual with Realtime AWD and I found myself a winner at the Volunteers of America retail lot.
Long story short. Found this vehicle on a whim and couldn't pass it up. Saw it on Autotrader last Tuesday night, took the day off Wednesday to show up when their doors opened, and went home with this beauty. It was a donated vehicle with zero issues.
Lowdown:
2000 Honda CR-V EX.
ONE OWNER.
B20 DOHC 4cyl. (147hp/133ft-lbs)
5 speed manual trans.
Realtime 4WD.
211,xxx miles. (it was towed behind an RV for it's entire life)
old person owned (note the white walls)
Completely stock for now.

I always liked that model best. I didn't know being towed made the odo creep up. Was it actually driven 200 k miles and towed or just towed?
Either way a b series is always a good fway to go
Yup. Odo creeps up while on all 4 wheeling being pulled around. This is my 2nd vehicle with high miles due to that towing setup. I had an outback with 180k. Old people seem to love towing AWD cars!
No clue actual drivetrain mileage. Judging by how perfect the driver seat is still I am doubting it has even close to 200k on it. Drives like 60k to be honest.

VTEC head is a must.
2010 Honda Fit LX
I would go with a b16 head from a 00 civic, it has smaller combustion chambers. ITR or CTR cams and you'll love it.
- Your not-so-local, untrained, uncertified, backyard mechanic. But my @!#$ runs
Lift? Aggressive tires? Eh, leave it stock.
O noes!
Maan don't mod that thing, just keep it clean and enjoy it as a dd. Put your money into the J.
