I did just that too a few months ago. I bought a brand new Bosch dishwasher and was able to pick it up in the box and load it in the back of my hatchback 2008 yaris.

I regularly load up $800+ worth of groceries for my restaurant as well. I'm pretty sure it fits more than a regular Sedan would. Love the cargo space.

Did I mention that I have car camped many many nights (probably onto 20+ nights) with my girlfriend in it, summer and winter. I tilt the passenger seat back and fill the gap where the passenger would normally sit with a plastic box and then use a thicker air mattress to hide all the imperfections. I'm 5'10". She tilts the driver seat forward and fills the gap where the back seat passenger would have their feet with the backpacks and also uses a thick air mattress. She's 5'3". It's all about how well you can fill the gaps under the air mattresses. If you figure it out, you sleep very well!

I have my doubts as to that working for me without removing the passenger seat (I'm over 6' 3"). I know I would fit in a Prius re camping. Aftermarket companies make tents for the standard Prius (affixed over an open hatch). I know I'd fit because I read about a couple who regularly camp in their Prius, with the on car tent and an air mattress. The husband is my height. The wife is shorter, but still 6 foot plus. I wonder if the 4 door AWD Mini Clubman has as much room as the Prius re potentially stretching out inside on an air mattress ?
