My daughters C1 doesnt even accept a crate of soda pop in the luggage compartment, no chance of transporting a normal suitcase. To change the alternator belt you have to remove the front bumper. To check brake fluid you have to remove everything between the hood and windshield, including the wiper and wiper motor, the air channel, its cover, etc etc, ugh...
You should see a Ford Fusion, You gotta pull the front bumper and the headlight assembly to replace a headlight bulb. Even then it's still a pita cause the access hole to change the bulb is offset from the bulb itself and requires long pliers to grab the bulb. Cabin filter requires removing the glove box assembly. Not one that just snaps out like a Mirage but one that you have to pop off cheap trim from the dash without breaking it to access bolts that hold the stupid glove box to the dash. Things are evolving backwards.
