   Just test drove the 2010 and noticed that the Hatch/Trunk opens very wide.
   
   Is this going to be a problem in my garage? Is this adjustable? It might be a problem area.

   Go to the dealer and measure the height of the hatch at its highest point when opened fully.
   
   Also measure the height of whatever in your garage the hatch might hit when open.
   
   Check out this thread for tips (including a DIY way of limiting how high the hatch can open to):

   wont be a problem. is designed to fit in standard ceiling height garage which is just over 8' minimum... now i would not leave the hatch open and back out of my standard 7' high garage door... that might be a problem
