Yea, the trunk was pretty small. It fit my medium roller (a checked bag) and a duffel bag, and not much more. When I adjusted the driver's seat for comfort, it went all the way back so would be impossible for someone to sit behind me (and I'm only 5'11").
For me, by myself, it was fine. I was surprised how well a 4-banger handled. Just looked, and I drove it 269 miles, including a trip to Deer Creek and one to Smith and Morehouse (that was where I got to experiment with passing on 2-lane roads).
It was fine for the 4-day trip. If it was much longer, I probably would have taken a 4-door sedan. Nothing else I saw really interested me.
