Honda Fit Handles Wedding Shower Haul With Aplomb
My fiance and I have one car between the both of us; really, zero, because mine is more of a toy for the drag strip than anything practical, so we looked to the Cars.com test fleet for a cargo-friendly ride for our wedding shower. Despite having an extended-wheelbase Land Rover Range Rover in Cars.com’s test fleet at the right time, I wasn’t too worried — or bitter — about having to haul a full load of wedding gifts away from our prenuptial party in the hugely versatile, yet still quite small, 2015 Honda Fit.

The family, however, was skeptical and still pulled two SUVs behind the subcompact Fit just in case we couldn’t secure every last oven mitt and spatula in the 52.7 cubic feet of maximum cargo space.
It was a delicate game of Tetris with roasters and toasters, but the Fit handled the task like a champ. The low cargo floor, tall cargo height and wide opening were keys to our successful loading. I didn’t even have to adjust the front passenger seat to create a few last ounces of space. I don’t think Cars.com’s long-term Cherokee would have handled the task any better either. It has just 2.2 more cubic feet of cargo space.
