I'll echo everyone else, the trunk's bigger than it looks.

 

100%


If you are traveling alone or moving a big package, you'd be amazed how much room you'll have when you pull the passenger seat out - it is only 4 bolts.

 

take the toll kit out, wrap the tools in socks or rags place them on top of the spare tire....

 

What if you get a flat tire???

 

AAA, Tow Truck, Fix-A-Flat, Carry a Plug kit. How far would you like to drive on that donut with 18" wheels? - in revhi's and my case.

 

i moved a keg a few miles with the trunk shut. spare tire and cd changer included.

 

It holds my garmet bag, and golf clubs, so its big enough for me. I put girls in the passenger seat, btw.

 

I've been on a few weekend trips with a passenger. Plenty of room, even with the tool kit and the spare tire. You have to make good use of the sunken space, though. Put a duffle bag or, ideally, a small suitcase in the sunken spot. Then you have room for a larger suitcase on top of that and a few miscellaneous items in the nooks and crannies.

You don't have a lot of room to buy stuff while you're away and bring it back in the car. That may or may not be a bad thing. "Sorry honey, we just don't have room for that very expensive thing that I don't really like anyway".

 

2 golf bags fit just fine.
That middle sunken area holds carryon luggage pefectly. Anything bigger goes in the passenger seat. Whenever I buy something big, the passenger ends up holding it. hehehe

 

use a chain saw - you can get two in there.
