Personally, I think the stock angle on the 2013-2015 Honda Crosstour is almost perfect, nearly the same as the 2000 Insight's near perfect hatch angle.

Even the Civics, though messier, are good enough that it is very difficult to improve without a full boat tail. Unless you want to do a full boattail... don't waste time on the rear glass angle.

There are other areas to improve... like imitating the 2000 Insight's fabulous real wheel well covers! What changes have you made already?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
