Riksta, I think you are seeing the Boot lid. This is a sedan and not the Hatch.

Mezmondeo, on that note go look at a Hatch. Once that thing opens up you can jam anything on the hole.

On the topic of servicing, I can't add anything sorry. I have not owned my MA long enough to have to service it.
Lancers are a smaller class of car. It depends on your needs really.
