"Apparently, the body retains rainwater around the hatchback so if the hatch is opened after the car has been standing in a shower the retained water cascades into the boot."
So says HJ's car-by-car breakdown for the latest Honda Civic. Any of you backroomers encountered this problem? And if so does it affect 2-dr models as badly as 5-dr?

Maxy - I have the five door and know of the problem.
There is a shaped channel the whole width at the base of the rear screen on the hatchback which retains water after a shower.
When the hatch is lifted the water drains from it onto the shaped plastic covers of the rear lights on which the hatch sits which are at each side rather than into the boot space itself.
I regard it as a minor problem on an otherwise excellent car.
