You know those 18-gallon Rubbermaid bins with the lids? You can put six of those in the thing with the rear seats down, and have plenty of room around them for things things that are flexible or small.#2 - It is listed as having a tiny 10.5 cubic foot cargo space... surely it isn't really that little, is it? When the seats are folded, etc... can you make a trip to Costco of any significance? Or is it as useless in that regard as the specs indicate?
Never drove a Fit. I'm 6"3, north of 300 lbs, and I'm comfortable with the driving seat on the third stop forward of the limit. I've never owned a car that I didn't have the seat all the way back before.#3 - How is it for tall guys? I'm 6'4, mostly in the legs. For anyone that's driven a Honda Fit... that's about as tight as I can go. I wouldn't call it comfortable, but I manage.
As far as I know, we're still at "Nobody's ever died inside a Gen 1 Volt".Agree the volt is a nice car to hand down. Very safe, efficient and dependable
Six weeks.No concern. The car is smart and will run the combustion engine in what is called Engine Maintenance Mode every 3 months I think to keep everything flowing and lubricated.
Yup. Fuel maintenance will kick on when the average age of the fuel in the tank is a year, and the engine will run until you've added enough fuel to bring that average back below a year with a small minimum add (like a gallon and a half).The car also has a fuel maintenance mode to burn up old gas before it gets too stale. They programmed a lot of self maintenance features in the combustion engine as they know for many it will be rarely used.
