Let me put it this way: trunk was really useful and had room for a surprising amount of load; 2 mid size luggage plus 6 smaller size bags, total of eight, sometimes nine pieces; every square inch was used and my wife was shocked to see that they all fit in; she was saying we would never ever fit in 1M with all those luggage. I was not that surprised since in the past I managed to carry loads like 4 tires with space left; a full exhaust with mid pipes and muffler (installed, not separated)...so I knew it had good space that outside looks of the car would not give a clue about.
