Has anyone had trouble making their seat configurations work? I can't seem to get my refresh mode right: my front seat back won't lay all the way down level with the back seat. I've rammed the front seat as far forward as it will go, but still no luck. This happens with both the driver's and passenger sides. Help!!

I am an artist and I do exhibits regularly. I need cargo space to carry my paintings and I am considering the Honda Fit. Would I be able to carry paintings of 60 inches long by 48 inches wide or what is the maximum I could carry?

Replying to: fitforfit (Jun 08, 2008 3:35 pm) The most narrow part of the rear is between the rear wheel wells. This is 40" if memory serves. And the shortest height is where the rear shoulder harness for the rear middle seat resides in the roof..that height is 35". So you may have some trouble. I suppose you could put your stuff on an angle to get in there, but if it's valuable art then you'd probably want some sort of stand or harness to hold is diagonally like that. Plus, the rear hatch opening is more narrow than the cargo; I should have measured the diagonal of the hatch opening for you.

Replying to: fitman548 (Jun 13, 2008 12:16 pm) I am seriously considering buying a fit. Could you measure the maximum height available in the cargo area with the back seats down. I am trying to find a fuel efficient car that is high enough (interior wise) to allow me to transport my bicycle in the car with front wheel off. I need around ~40 inches. Thanks, Steve

Replying to: sbailey64 (Jul 06, 2008 5:22 am) Wanted to let you know that I've successfully put my Trek touring bicycle in the back of my 2007 Fit without a problem - had the back seats down flat and took the front wheel off first. I love this car - consistently get over 40 MPG. I do mostly highway driving at about 60 MPH - most people pass me, but I get the phenomenal gas mileage! Elaine

Replying to: elainewe (Sep 13, 2008 4:08 pm) I also use the FIT to transport my touring bike, and love it. Here's the method I use that you may like even more than folding the back seats down: Use the vertical mode! Fold the rear seat bottoms UP. Open the rear door behind the driver's seat. Take the front wheel off the bike. Keeping the bike vertical, put it in the car with the rear wheel first. When the rear wheel is all the way in, turn the handlebars 90 degrees to your right and lift slightly so that the brake levers are resting on the padded front of the raised rear seat. Then put in your front wheel (there will be LOTS of room for it). This has a couple of advantages. The bike remains vertical so that your water bottles can remain filled. It also frees up the entire hatch area for your other gear/luggage. Give it a try! ... Craig in Colorado |

| Love our new 2009 Fit, but wonder why cargo cover isn't standard. We're looking to buy a cover and net, but details are hard to find. Can anyone tell us if the cover will snap on without screwing it into the back seats as the instruction sheet seems to require? Also, all photos of the cargo net show it flat on the floor. Does it attach so that it will stand up vertically? | |
