This is personal commuter car transportation. My Honda Civic has twice the cargo capacity. I don’t think I could use one of these for my road job due to its low cargo capacity. It is a beautiful car nonetheless.
I thought the trunk area of the hatchback was reasonable - we're looking at it or the cruze for our next car. Luckily our two kids are both going to be 2+ by the time we can afford it, and the quantity of stuff they will require on a trip is already starting to decrease.
Apparently the sedan is significantly longer? Haven't driven it yet (just the hatch) but the trunk of the cruze is pretty decent.
