In the station wagon, I used to have to put my cello's scroll over the corner of the back seat to fit it in the back. In the new sedan, I can lie the thing flat on the floor. On a diagonal, of course. But it fits completely. You would think there'd be more room in a full-size station wagon, but no.A 7/8 in the gig bag will be able to lie across the trunk from side to side, no angling necessary.
A hard case will have to go in on the diagonal again, but still: The cello fits in the trunk! This was something we were mildly concerned about, what with the diagonal and over-the-top-of-the-back-seat thing in the last car. I laughed a lot on Saturday morning when it slid in without needing half of the back seat flipped down.
So not only it is a smooth ride and awesomely easy to drive, it's cello-friendly. I love this new car.
