The house is getting new floors. I am a DIY-er to the max, and that means rejecting delivery if it costs me anything. 1000 lbs of cargo is no issue, and it can take scrap to the dump when I’m done

I have a Fit and I relate to that.

My car was a truck too last year during waste removal day! Well....it was only taking things down to the curb, but still...

Yep. I did the same with my FiST for work. I once made an emergency chemical delivery 100+ miles to a customer. It was like it was meant to be.

To date I have used my hatchbacks to move:
1000 lbs of flooring (my wife had the other half in her 2016 mazda3)
4 loads of scrap the dump in a weekend
5 33-inch Duratracs and 5 wheels in the boxes, not yet mounted (one trip)
Patio furniture
A 5 foot tall dresser with the hatch closed
Many loads of lumber for garden beds, furniture, garage shelves, etc...
Innumerable car parts
Tools, the last of which is a portable 10" table saw (not small)
An engine
At least 1 transmission
Huge loads of moving boxes, multiple times
I love my hatch

Floating floor, nails would ruin it

Somewhere I have a pic from years ago of my 2006 Mazda3 with a bunch of brick pavers. Suspension was notably lower .
