Quick Clubman questions...

Question 1:
With the rear seats folded down in the Clubman, is the cargo area flat?

Question 2:
With the rear seats up, what are the rough dimensions of the cargo area?

Pretty much. If the front seats are too far back or reclined beyond a certain point, the rear seat headrests can foul on the front seat backs, but they're easy to remove.

Mine cargo area is flat when I remove the rear headrests.

1. Floor is flat.
2. with seats up the floor is 21" deep and 40" wide but only 32" between seat braces when folded down. These braces do take up space from left and right sides so it's not a clean straight run when seats are folded down. I noticed in the new clubvan, it is a straight run since there are no back seats.

Also, the rear seats have 2 positions. They normally have a natural angle to them for rear seat passengers to be comfy. You can however store boxes a little larger and flip the attachment point up and when you re latch the rear seats the back is vertical. This would not be comfortable for a person but if I have boxes and my 2 dogs in the back it works just fine.

The biggest limiting dimension I've come across with the Clubman rear storage is the actual opening. Top to bottom it's something like 22" or 24". I've tried to haul some things that were hard to get through the opening... I did manage to get a large Kegorator in the car though. That was the absolute biggest thing I could've crammed in there.
