Not only do I love the cargo capasity, but I love how configurable it is. The seats offer many choices for hauling loads. It's a big reason why I chose the Fit, and it hasn't let me down yet.

Might want to get a bumper guard in the future. Just in case you ever haul more stuff. And no! Not the cheap ones Honda has. Get a tough one. =)

While in the store and on the way out to the car, did you wonder if it was going to fit?

And after loading it all in, and seeing how much space was left over, did you regret not getting more supplies (because you thought it might not all fit)?

Did you also notice how wide the side doors open? It sure makes loading and unloading from the sides so much easier!

This is why I often describe the Honda Fit as the grocery mom car. It's the perfect vehicle for people with warehouse club memberships.

It's also a great muscian dad car too. I fit a good amount of gear in there. And it's a lot cooler than saying it's a grocery car!

Nice pics. Not only does it have incredible room and room flexibility, but it's so easy to put stuff in in the first place. Other cars you have to do more lifting and adjusting.

I tossed my mountain bike in there with such ease. I think I can even stand my bike up instead of laying it down. Try that in an SUV.

The Fit's great for carrying framed artwork around too. I had about 600lbs (wooden frames with thick mattes and glass) in the back of my 09 Sport for a 500-mile roadtrip this summer and the extra weight made almost no difference in handling (although when I came to hills I learned why the Fit has 4th gear). The suspension seems to have been designed with the expectation that heavy loads will be hauled.

Little water bottles work great for kids lunches.

When we know we're going to stock up on a lot of stuff, we take both cars to Costco. Kids n wife in the Accord, and I in the Fit. I think the combined gas mileage is still better than some of the larger SUV's.

Next, you need to carry a long item like a carpet or a ladder, or a door! It's fun to watch people's reactions when the Fit swallows items that are almost as large as the car itself.
