I thought I recalled seeing this topic being touched on in one of the interview video's... Where one of the engineers had mentioned that...the space below that load floor was basically due to the size of the larger spare tire.. and them not having anything "on the shelf" to fit better than the current setup. So, the result was that wasted space. I can't recall where I saw that. A little disappointing to leave I as seemingly an afterthought... But I guess if you're going to cut costs/corners somewhere.... That is better than some of the alternatives.

Neat that you were able to fit it though, was it actually level/flat when you squeezed it into the lower setting? Or did you end up with a bulge from the tire?

If only the back seats folded flat... That would make me happy.

A roof rack wouldn't cause me any concerns at all in regards to roof clearance.... As I am coming from driving a Raptor...

It does however wreck your MPG. As that is one of the appeals to this car, it seems that it could be a hefty sacrifice for some of the more economy oriented minds.

Even an empty roof rack is known to drop the MPG noticeably.
