I think the reason that they stopped making a lot of cars like that has to do with new safety regulation that make cars heavier. That's why there is nothing out there like the old civics that used to get 40-50 mpg - they are just to heavy.

at least, thats how it was explained to me. You start adding in ABS, traction control, air bags etc and you can't make a super cheap/light car any more.

Regarding the FIT, it has that cool fold UP back seat. I would think you could fold the seat bottom up, take your front wheel off and stick a bike in crossways.
