Pro-tip, Use sheets and towels to protect the upholstery, remove the seat post and don't even consider leaving both racks on.

Now if only folding companies would make more than one size..... Yes I own a coupled bike which makes group car camping trips doable.
My 60cm bikes fit fine in the trunk of my Corolla without having to fold the rear seats down as long as I remove both wheels. They have rear racks and I think would still be ok with front racks attached but I haven't tried that.

BTW, Bike Friday will make their folding bikes in the size you order.
