Your point is not really correct Gollum. Whether an estate or hatch back or saloon, water will travel around the rear tailgate / around the boot aperture, and if there any areas with poor seals etc en route will be a source of water ingress.
My grandaughters 06 Ford Fiesta got a puddle in the spare wheel well everytime it rained. I traced that to a seal behind the rear light cluster where a plastic bracket housed the wiring loom and had a sponge like seal (? ::?) against the body. Removed the seal, and replaced the bracket with a bead of permanently flexible DumDum, and its been dry as a bone ever since.
