It will fit just fine. I've carried my bike inside a few times. Have also carried a 6 foot step ladder, a ten foot down spout (plastic), down pipe & catback exhaust and other large stuff. The front pass. seat can be moved forward and it does tilt fowards a little bit. Just be carefull not scratch the window heater elements on the inside of the hatch window.

Buy a 10'x20' sheet of plastic from the paint department at Home Depot for about $15. It comes rolled up. Fold your rear seats down. Then set the roll of plastic down behind the front seats and unroll till you hit the rear bumper, then unroll another 4 feet. Cut it there.
This gives you a big enough piece that you can fold the plastic over top of the bike on all four sides, sort of like you're wrapping it up. That keeps all the dirt/mud/grease from touching the interior as much as is possible.
If you're careful to never let one side of the plastic touch the ground or get dirty in general, you can reuse it as much as you like. Just depends how careful you are in removing it from the car and folding it up to store.
I prefer this method to having a roof/hitch rack mainly because it's cheaper and more secure (in some regards).
I put a fully assembled mountain bike in the back of mine, it was an old cheap on so the wheels had to stay on as well as the seat. I would t recommend it without a tarp or something similar to cover the seats, don't want to end up scratching them or getting mud or chain grease on them. But defiitely doable. I also had a passenger so it fit without folding the front seat down.

My 20" 29er fits. You could probably even fit a 22" 29er. But after having racks shoving things in the boot makes no sense to me.
