AI-assisted review
Rejects complete, closed-hatch fit under its Long Mode assumptions; explicitly allows loading with protrusion and a tied-down hatch, not a blanket inability to carry any part inside.
Literal evidence from this attempt
No — not completely inside with the hatch closed.
Exact final answer
No — not completely inside with the hatch closed.
### Why it doesn't quite work
A 2016, third-generation Honda Fit has Honda's "Long Mode" for exactly this kind of load: the right-rear seat folds down and the front passenger seat folds flat so you can carry long objects on the passenger side.
Honda rates that mode at **7 ft 9 in long — 93 inches**.
Your KARLBY is:
* **98 in long** as a bare countertop — already 5 in over
* **25 5/8 in wide**
* **1 1/2 in thick**
* About 85-90 lb
In its IKEA carton it's even longer — roughly **102 3/8 in** long x 26 in wide.
That thin-lumber trick people use to squeeze an 8-ft 2x4 into a Fit diagonally — nose deep into the passenger footwell, tail in the opposite rear corner — doesn't work here. A 2x4 is only 3.5 in wide. A 25 5/8-in-wide slab is blocked by the center console, door/A-pillar in front, and the hatch trim in back, so you get almost no extra length from going diagonal. You also don't want a 90 lb slab resting against the dashboard or windshield.
### If you try to haul it anyway
It will go *in* in Long Mode, but expect roughly 6-10 in (more in the box) to stick out the back:
1. Fold the passenger-side rear seat flat.
2. Remove the front passenger headrest, slide that seat back and recline it fully flat per the owner's manual Long Mode instructions.
3. Load it flat on the passenger side with blankets padding the dash, console, and hatch trim.
4. Tie the hatch down to the latch striker, support/flag the protruding end, and drive slowly.
No one can safely ride in the front passenger seat, and a loose 90 lb countertop is a serious projectile in a sudden stop.
The practical options are IKEA delivery, a $20-30 pickup/van rental, or a proper roof rack with crossbars and straps — the bare countertop alone is near the limit for improvised soft roof pads.
So for a closed-hatch, no-damage fit: **98 in is just over what a 2016 Fit can swallow.**
