The Honda website shows the Fit with a bike in the back seat with the wheel on (a mountain bike). But that had to be a KID'S bike. My bike would not fit across there, I am certain. I sat in one again last week while I was waiting for my oil change in the E. It's a tiny car and my husband would not fit in the passenger seat.

A roadie friend of mine rolls his bike into the back seat of his Accord, without taking the wheel off. I wouldn't want grease on my seats, though. (I didn't notice any on his, btw.) Accords don't get GREAT gas mileage, though, just so-so.

I am having pump shock every time I fill up my Element, since my diesel Beetle got 40 mpg easy. But I couldn't get a bike in it, in any way.

I'm buying back my son's '96 Civic 4-door 5-speed for my 14 yo to drive eventually. You can bet I'll be driving that 38 mpg puppy around when I don't have any big loads to haul! Maybe a bike will roll in the back seat like the Accord?
