OK so you back from the grocery store and have some loose change in your hand. You sit in the driver's seat and notice the handy little storage well just under the parking brake release between the seats.

Go home and hey presto your change has gone !

Look carefully and you will notice that the handy compartment actually has no side nearest you and anything you put in there could or will slide off to the side of your seat and onto the seat sliders and beyond.

Getting the coins out was a pain without removing the seat. The tank bulging up didn't help.

 

Why didn't you use the coin tray just below the mirror controls on the left of the steering wheel?

 

ah the coin tray...

look and you will find thank you.

 

LOL!

a surprise every time!

 

haha this one made me laugh.

 

i use my coin tray as a garage door opener holder. im afraid to put change in there in an event i slam on my brake or step on the gas all that change is gonna fall out

 

the change does fall out on hard take offs

 

Thats why Im not gonna put change in there... hmmm were oh were can I put my change

 

Are you referring to the little well to the left of the steering wheel? I didn't know that was for change... I always put my cell phone and sunglasses in it.

 

Yup! Right under the side mirror controls

 

Learning new things every day. I used to keep my change in the car's ash tray, since I didn't smoke. Problem with that was the coins would sweat and eventually glue themselves down to the tray. Gross.

 

lol i kept my extra screw & nuts in the ash tray....
of course we can opt for this



but come on it cant hold all my change... heehee...

 

I got a change holder that fits into a cup holder (sorts quarters, dimes, nickels, etc). It's actually in two parts, with the top being the sorter, and the bottom being simply a cup, where you can toss stuff, until you can sort it. I removed the bottom cup, and dropped the top portion into the rear cupholder (behind the hand brake), where it now sits (almost) perfectly flush with the top of the cupholder.

 

Wow I actually use that to put my ipod (parking in safe locatoins). Can't berlieve it is like that. But i think it's useful if u add a console accessory, cuz then it can be in one continous space.

 

Do you have pic of your setup?

Thanks!

 

change? give it all to me, problem solved

 

Here's a view from the back seat, showing the coin sorter in the rear cupholder. Keep in mind I removed the lower "cup" half, and have only the sort portion dropped in (click on the thumbnail to view larger):

 

Now I saw this small little area and only noticed it on the Base model at first and then saw it on mine the first day I had it LOL...

 

A credit card co. offered gadgets for the cost of S&H ($3.97). I ordered the digital tire gauge before I bought my Silver Fit and it just arrived -- design and color make it look like it was made for the Fit. So does my travel mug. I discovered that the cup holder has a little notch exactly right for the handle. There are little compartments here and there and I'm figuring out what works best for all the odds and ends I keep in the car, including the garage door opener (which blends into the interior almost too well). At first I wished for a center compartment like my Accord had, but all these little niches seem to be neater. Nothing gets lost this way.

 

I thought I would be hurting, going from my pickup truck that has a HUGE center console to the Fit, but the size of the Fit's glovebox makes up for the lost space, with room to spare. My pickup's box is barely big enough to hold the owner's manual.
