Also currently driving a Fit. I didn't own a car (of my own) for several years as my partner had one that we shared. When that ended and I bought a fixer-upper house, I initially wanted to buy a small pickup - think of the old S-10 or the older style Rangers and Tacomas - because it seemed to fit my needs: - Rarely need to transport more than myself and one passenger - Frequently need to pick up lots of supplies or drop off junk at the dump - Drive in the city with lots of parallel parking/stop and go traffic But used versions of those trucks were either quite old and/or still demanding quite a premium due to scarcity. All newer trucks were bigger than I needed, seemed to be focused on cab size over bed size, and a lot more expensive than what I had in my budget. Instead I just got a Fit for under $10k cash. I've transported a full sized door and can even squeeze in a sheet of plywood or drywall if I cut them down the middle before loading. Most everything else is no problem. For the rare occasions where I need to haul something bigger, I just rent a truck for the afternoon. I'd still love a small truck to make these trips easier, but I'm not currently willing to spend more or get something huge. Also, I'm bummed that they stopped selling new Fits in the US. Great little cars.
