Sold my Concept 2 Rowing machine sitting in my house and needed to deliver it locally. I had quite struggle fitting the rowing machine into my old 14' Accord when I bought it last year, even though the Accord had a larger trunk to rear opening. And I slipped the rowing machine (which breaks down into 2 pieces but still quite large) into my Clarity without any struggle... I think the Clarity had higher trunk clarance than the Accord which made fitting a lot of things much easier than Accord (like 2 road bikes one in trunk and one in rear)

Just want to praise the Clarity here :D (looking at the Volts parked next to me at the charging station, there is no way those cars can fit anything in their short trunk...)
 
I took my golf clubs to the dealership before I bought. The pass through is not great, but it was a must.

Volt and Clarity are really different form factors. I too enjoy the huge Clarity trunk, but the bulkhead between the trunk and back seats, while probably excellent for crash performance, is limiting for wide stuff.

I like Clarity overall better than Volt. That said, I got a relatively huge freezer in the Volt hatchback with the rear seat backs folded down that would never have fit in Clarity. Early on, someone did a webpage comparison Volt and Clarity, with some detail and a number of pictures, I think including a flat screen TV (easily slid into Volt, no go for Clarity, just missed widthwise between the back doors on the passenger floor). I couldn't find it in a quick search, but it's probably still there somewhere.

In May we're going w/ another couple on a trip to Seattle, I'm looking forward to evaluating the Clarity's performance post trip.
