Does it feel like the suspension could handle carrying an average sized cab in the back?

Considering cars have to be designed to ride with 4 fat ass adults in them now, I don't think a cabinet will strain the suspension too much. ;D

Handles great, it's very nimble in traffic, I have no problems maneuvering.  To me, it feels like it has a slight degree of oversteer, not hard to get used to at all.  It is taller than a Civic, so you will feel a bit more body roll in a hard corner.

is it stick or auto?

Maybe... but you don't usually put 2 of those fatasses in the hatch of a 4 cyl.  I'm sure it wouldn't break the springs or anything but it might make a decent sized pothole into a real problem.

I bought an automatic this time, my last vehicle was a manual, which was irritating me to no end in rush hour Phoenix traffic.  I bought the Fit Sport, which has paddle shifters if I ever feel the need for manual shifting...   :D

Yeah... I live in the DC area... my commute is more stop than go... the stick would probably become a bit of an irritant as well... some folks buy sticks because they like and because it makes the vehicle feel a bit more peppy.  Paddle shifters seems like a nice compromise.
