Moving Experience With My FIT

Well, like JJ in the old sitcom, we moved up to a deluxe apartment this week.

Had a lot of stuff we wanted to move ourselves because of fragility.

The 2016 FIT kept saying "More" each time I loaded items into the enormous area created by lowering the magic seats.

It took a shockingly low number of loads to complete the job.

Really glad I traded my 2013 Corolla for the FIT this year.

We had a similar experience. Two wing back chairs one trip, a 9 drawer dresser another, plus tons of stuff we bought when we moved into our bigger apartment. Love!

I had a similar experience. The Fit kept asking for more stuff, and I kept wondering where it all went. In the end the Fit won, as I had no more stuff to feed it.

Tardis-like, which I love. Coming from a mid-size sedan it was a revelation.

Yeah it hauled all the college stuff, a real load. I was impressed.

When people ask me how I like the Fit, I always say, it's small on the outside, big on the inside.

Such a great design.

Unfortunately, I tried to move a love seat a couple of weeks ago, but it was too large for the Fit. I must admit I was too ambitious. 😆

I remember moving a sofa in a Corolla wagon many years ago. I ended up leaving the hatch open a bit and holding it down with rope around the roof rack and bumper. I know, not the best thing to do but it was only for a mile or so. I don't know how you could do that with a Fit. Apart from the rear shipping tie-down I don't know where else there's anywhere to tie anything to on a Fit.

Just after i bought my 6 MT in July 2015, our dryer, then our washer went out. Normally have appliances delivered, but each appliance slid easily in and out of the back with the seats down. I figure that saved fifty bucks each trip.

btw, hatch door shut easily on both trips. Surprised as hell.

The rear loading strip (cushion?) idk what to call that, did you have it installed or?

looking at the first pic, the black strip on the rear bumper

Your yellow Fit reminded me of the official yellow VW I see at Ikea.

Only difference is with the Fit, that load would fit INSIDE the car.

Did you drive with the right lane camera turned-on to compensate for your lack of visibility?
