Our Torino wagon had a dual swing tailgate like that and worked well. I have mixed feeling on the under bed trunk - It's great storage but a pain when you have the bed loaded up with items and you need to access it. BTW: My Torino and Jetta both had storage like that but the Torino carried the spare tire in the rear quarter panel, so the trunk was huge. They also had a rearward facing seat option for that space in many wagons.
