Little Car, Big Storage

I'm packing, preparing for my road trip and I keep looking at all of the crap in my bedroom that I need to put into the Fit. It always looks intimidating because in my mind, the Fit is a tiny tiny tiny car. I just put the first 3 boxes in the back, with the rear seats down, and I nearly lost it because I still had so much more space to use. And even after I use up the lateral space, I still have the vertical space to use when I start piling things. My word, it's like having a small flat-bed truck.
I love this car.

Two adults, ten days. Not close to full.

Cheers.

Heh! It was like when I was buying two chairs and a table. In boxes. Two employees and the flat dolly to bring the boxes out, and them asking me what kind of car I had. Did I bring a truck?

No, I have a Honda Fit. They didn't know what that was. I said it was a hatchback. They asked if I could make more than one trip and did I live close by?

Even as we approached the car, they were sure it wouldn't all fit. Until I put seats down and they started putting the items, and found there was all this EXTRA space. The two chair boxes fit on top of the table box, leaving almost 2/3 or so of the cargo area ready for more stuff.

The HEIGHT of the car inside makes a huge difference. Those wide opening doors. And the hatch opening is well-sized too.

People have complained about being tossed around by the wind, because of the height of the Fit. But without that height, you'd lose the headroom and the cargo space. I'll take the interior space!
