Right after buying my current car, I spent a while working around it with a tape measure, getting cargo dimensions in a bunch of different locations. I found that the depth of the cargo area varied pretty dramatically at different heights, due to the way that the front seats lean back and the rear hatch leans in. At the cargo floor, I have 72" between the hatch and seat, but only 50" at the roof.
It all paid off when I picked up a big piece of furniture. I knew that it should barely fit in the back, and I was correct. The store employees were a bit sceptical, but it fit with less than an inch clearance on each side.
