Mac, 5'11" should fit with room to spare unless like my brother you seem to adopt a laying down position in the car! Boot space is I'm afraid to say identical as the rear bulkhead is in a fixed position and the rear floor/shelf will have been fixed and glued so is not removable although some have modified theirs and fitted the tool tray which you will either need to make or purchase. Where the spare wheel would go is open to the elements beneath the body skin and it also doesn't have the spare wheel carrier fitted. Best option is to buy the sports rear rack and an optional spare wheel mounting bracket. this then gives you the option to carry a spare wheel and using boat type bags you can strap them to this for better capacity. If you choose to travel without a spare wheel do not use the squirty temporary repair can if you have wire wheels!
