Honda Fit Continued

As I mentioned earlier, our next car may be the Honda Fit. What first caught my eye was the amazing amount of interior space. And how easy it was to configure. First this is a sub compact, but it has more room than many small SUVs.

It starts out as a four to five passenger car. I would really say four, but Honda claims you can put 3 adults in the back seat. Now let's say you want to carry more stuff in the back. You start out with just over 20 cubic feet behind the rear seats. Fold them down and now you have 53 cubic feet of storage space. Wow!

Let's assume a different need. This time you have a long object, like a ladder, rug, surf board or what have you, up to 7 feet 2 inches in length. So you fold down part of the rear seat and you can carry this object. The rear seat is one of those 40 - 60 splits, so in addition to this long thing you want to carry, you can also have a passenger sitting in the rear.

All three of these configurations are typical and available in other cars. However, Honda has another trick up their sleeves. This one is called the "magic seat". Recall that the rear seats fold forward. They also fold up. That is the seat portion folds up and connects to the back. This leaves a deep well when you open the rear doors. You can now carry an object up to 4 feet tall. How's that for innovation?

More later.
