About the hatch volume... This is what another member wrote in a post earlier in this thread:Really don't like the hatch design much. I'm let down because I wanted a hatch and I had high hopes for this Civic version. Since a lot of what should normally be "hatch volume" is destroyed by the sloping roof line, I'm not really even sure why they bothered making this variant. They tried for "edgy" with some elements and they look amateurish. The good news is this is making me feel better about my decision to jump on the sedan The sedan has a more cohesive overall design IMO.
So i did an overlay of the current 9th gen hatch with the 10th gen hatch to see how the back windows compared in height/rake because the 10th gen rear looks so low and sloped. It's an illusion created by the fact that the back end of the new 10th gen is longer than the 9th gen. The rear window is longer, but the rake is almost identical, as is the height of the rear window splitter (spoiler). So rear capacity space shouldn't be compromised compared to the current and 8th gen hatches, and the added length should add quite a bit of cubic space in the back.
