I've used it a few times to order lumber because I thought it would be a pain to get everything into my car. Consistently ends up with a guy with the tiniest possible car showing up and me being surprised that a car that small can hold that much wood.

I do usually pad it out with a few other things whenever I make a big order of lumber though, have definitely ordered caulk.

Small cars can do way more than people think. If you put the rear seats down to open the trunk area to the passenger compartment, you can fit a lot of 2X4s and other long items. Having a roof rack helps, too.
