Cargo

The coupe has a traditional trunk that measures 10 cubic feet, which is enough room to accommodate three golf bags. You can create more cargo room by folding down the rear seatback, which is released by pulling either a knob in the trunk or a strap in the backseat. Once folded, there's a short rectangular opening between the trunk and cabin.
