I once went to a Honda dealership to pick up a part and laughed as I passed a Fit. I asked if I could climb inside.

My knees were against the dashboard.

Often, when I mention that, people condescendingly ask "Why didn't you pull back the seat?"

I have done that in every single vehicle that I have ever driven. Few had legroom to satisfy me.

I recently walked past a Fortwo near my college and sat next to it in my folding chair. I lined up the seat backs, but my feet reached the front tires. I do not have any way of knowing how far back the seat was, but it is rated .1" shorter than the Fit.

How well would it work out if I filled up a grocery cart and then tried putting that in the back of a Fortwo?

Oh, there was also the elk\deer\alien kangaroo that dented the entire front half of my 1990 Accord.
