How big is the Honda Civic trunk opening?

The Civic sedan trunk is about 40 in wide between the wheel wells and roughly 41 in deep, but the lid opening is only about 20 in tall. A tall rigid item can fail at that opening height even though the trunk cavity looks deep, so measure your item on its smallest face.

Do the Honda Civic rear seats fold down?

Yes, Civic sedans have 60/40 split-folding rear seats that open a pass-through into the cabin for long items. The pass-through height, not the trunk volume, is what limits skis, lumber, or flat-pack boxes.
