The short rear deck looks cool on the Lancer and probably results in good aerodynamics (except for the drag-inducing wing), but the upshot is a small trunk opening that can’t accept anything taller than about 18 inches. Additionally, the subwoofer from the Rockford Fosgate audio system takes a sizable whack out of the left side of the cargo area. Despite this, liftover is low, and there’s a good lip to keep small items from rolling onto the ground when you open the trunk lid. The rear seatbacks fold down in a 60/40 split, but must be released from inside the car.
