2006 Honda Civic LX 5MT. I got rid of it because it was slow, boring, black (hot as hell in the summer and hard to keep looking nice), and somewhat poorly equipped. I do miss the gas mileage though.

'07 TL Type-S
1997 Nissan Maxima Se.
Loved the car and wanted to do a bunch of mods to it, but I just couldn't justify putting a bunch of money into a car that old vs saving for a newer car I liked better. Not to mention fixing little things that were wrong with the car was draining my mod funds. There were a few things I hated about it like there was a dent in the front fender and I hated the tan interior. I don't think I will ever get tan interior in a car again. But it was my first car so there was sort of a love hate relationship. Only had it for a year though. lol
So the TL was a really nice upgrade. I also made sure I got the Type-S in the color I wanted and interior I wanted because I plan to have it for a long time and so far I couldn't be happier. I knew if I didn't get the Type-S I would either mod it to look like one or want to upgrade to one later. So within reason there really aren't any cars I would want to upgrade to which is a good thing.

Intermediate
95 BMW 325ISS (started as a 318IS). My first car had it for 2 years - car went through a lot, had 138K when I bought it ended up with 167K. sis crashed it, went through a lot of maintenance and repairs but was never working right to be honest. car looked damn good and handled good until i totally ruined the suspension by dropping it on coilovers....long story short, i ruined the car but i learned a lot from it. sold it with a stalling problem, interior falling apart, poor paint job, rough suspension, leaky exhaust, and oil leaking 
. now i have better financial means to take care of my new 05 tl.
hopefully will buy another one someday

I use to drive my 2000 Integra GS (still got this one) and 2002 TL (totaled) before I got my 08 TL Type S. I also had 2007 RDX Tech/Ent, sold it for my 2007 MDX Tech/Ent.
And of course i had a Civic EX, well before all of those.

Doesn't seem anyone has a list like mine:
1. 1993 Buick Skylark
2. 2001-2-3(?) Ford Focus
3. 2003 Toyota Corolla
I only got to pick out the 3rd one, and I didn't have a job at the time so the alternatives were ... sparse? to say the least.
The Skylark will always be remembered though -- for what I did to it. I had something NO ONE else had in 1998... laptop in the trunk with 12GB harddrive ($299 for harddrive alone) and a keyboard up front for typing in song name or any portion thereof. Loaded with my full CD collection of ripped MP3's, 200+ albums. I also had a text2speech voice programmed to annouce songs at random with band-name triggered announcement messages... for example sometimes when it was about to randomly play cannibal corpse it would say "And now to rip you a new a**hole, a tune from Cannibal Corpse: Butchered at Birth!!"
1998 folks. =D it blew everyone's minds. Car audio place helped on it for free to some extent just cause they were so shocked.

2001 Ford Escape XLT V6 - our first 'family' vehicle. Bought it new. All options except for 4WD. It had leather plus the Mach 460 factory sound. Interestingly enough this audio system was far superior to the TL, IMO. But I love the TL as a daily driver. 6MT FTW!

My first ricer

Had an 06 Trailblazer SS, got sick of paying for the gas for how much traffic I sit in, sold it for a few more K than I paid for the 06 TL, just wanted to mix it up and save a little money. I do miss the 400+HP sometimes and the exhaust note from the LS2. I also miss the headlights, stock sucked but I did a retrofit that blows away the stock bixenons.
