Purple, bought it from my brother for $500 in 74.

Too bad it has such a bad (and undeserved) rep these days, because mine was reliable, comfortable, could haul a lot of crap for a little hatchback, and was fun to drive. Its appearance actually closely resembled the 80s Honda Civics, but for some reason it was always dismissed as being unattractive.

I took it cross-country from San Diego to Florida in 75, and because it was rather low-slung and heavy, I managed to cruise through the dust storms in the desert without any fear of getting blown off the side of the road. Ended up selling it for $750, so I'm left with fond memories of it.
