how do you load your bike on the car?

With the right bike it's never an issue.

Well, it doesn't fit in a new Fiat 500

That bike fits in a suitcase, right? Oughta fit in the back of any little car.

nope, we've tried it. We even had problems to fit it in a mini clubman.

of course it goes on the backseat but not in the boot.

BF and I can fit our 2 road bikes in the back of the Jeep Liberty (older style). We just leave the back seats down and slide them in. Neither one of us have very big bikes though. Mine is a 50cm and his is a 54cm.

Yes it does, although it requires slight disassembly first.

Caveat on the bike bras: they (or at least the ones we used) fasten to the bike via velcro tabs. the backs of the tabs are kinda scratchy/sharp-edged and my bike ended up with some paint scuffing from the tabs. This was on a trip from Wisconsin to southwestern CO and back, but nevertheless, it was disappointing to see. Also, they tore/wore out very easily and were cheaply made. I think we got ours from Performance, btw.

My thoughts exactly. I tuck two Bike Fridays inside the back of my VW Rabbit.

Tulip, how long does it take you to ride 10 miles on your Bike Friday?

Same time it takes me to ride it on my Luna. I average about 14-15 mph, with cruising in the 17-18 mph range. Depends on the terrain, of course. Last month I rode about 300 miles in the Arizona mountains in a week on the Friday, and last week I rode 200 miles on it at Cycle Zydeco (4 days). I'm doing two centuries on it in May. It feels like a full-sized bike and rides like a full-sized bike.
