Junk in the Trunk

@Ashikabi shitquoter I bet I could get a compact dryer 110v in there. It's only 2'x2'

But why would you want to? You can dry like... 1 microfiber towel in there

the reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of buying a compact washer and dryer, would be great if they could fit in.

I suggest you either have it delivered or borrow your neighbors pickup .....

On second thought, maybe move them one at a time .......

I carried a 18.5x19.5x30.5 inch mini fridge I have in my office in the front passenger seat before (twice, leaving last job, coming to new job). With the seat pushed all the way back and then tilted all the way back, it barely fits but you have to do put it in head first then angle it just right. The biggest problem was the height (30.5) but I don't think anything much bigger than that would fit in any dimension.

I've been considering getting a Montague Paratrooper and doing a BBS02 electric conversion on it, think I could fit this folding bike with 26" wheels through the trunk or the side door?

That'll definitely fit.

6 wheels and 4 tires. With room to spare.

As a new FR-S owner I was pleasantly surprised at the trunk space. It is more than enough for any grocery/beer run.

For comparison my 2007 Yaris with the rear seat up just barely fits a fair size grocery run. However with the seats down I have taken a complete Lazy-Boy recliner to the dump in it.

My 2002 Avalon has enough room to fit my wife and I, 2 dogs and all the luggage in the known free world.

With the FR-S it would be the wife and I ,2 dogs and only if I could con the wife to take 1/3 of the luggage she usually "absolutely,positively" has to have for travel.

Her cosmetics bag alone actually wore a groove in my shoulder when on a trip to Hawaii !!!

What? Are you driving the 3-door Yaris? Even then, the FR-S has 6.9 cu.ft compared to 9.3 or 12.9 cu.ft of volume in the 3/dr or sedan Yaris.

Did the whole "4 tires in the trunk" thing today picking up snow tires on steelies. Had to stack two of them on the folded seat back and mostly behind the passenger seat, and laid the other two flat next to each other in the trunk space.

Normally the trunk only has a few spare things in it: Emergency kit about the size of a large novel(jumper cables, work gloves, a few first aid bits, cutting tool, chem lights, space blanket, poncho, tire pressure gauge, few other bits), similar sized bag to hold an extra quart of oil, and a hand brush/ice scraper. Usually stays tucked in the rearmost corner on the passenger side. I try to keep the trunk junk to a minimum so it never snowballs out of control.

I do need to add a foot pump for those SOL moments, and a set of wrenches and sockets matching the fasteners in the car, and that should about cover me for virtually all car emergencies without getting heavy and massive.

Yaris was my drive to work/go for stuff car before I retired. The Fr-S has more floor area ,but less height to put plastic grocery bags on. The Yaris has less floor area ,but is taller,so I have to stack bags on top of bags to get it all in.

The FR-S is my play toy.

Ah yeah, that makes sense. We have a Yaris sedan and I'm thinking, "There's no way the FR-S trunk is bigger!"
