I managed to put 4 16'' wheels in mine ! two in the trunk, one behind the passenger seat and the last in front. Therefor I had to put my luggage on the passenger seat
I'm picking my friend up from the airport next week and I'm wondering if her giant suitcase will fit in the trunk. I can't copy/paste from amazon on the iPad but here's the link:
Actually, it says 35.5" and that might just work as my Roadster measures 36" from wall to wall. It looks like the longest point of that bag (wheels to retracted handle) isn't squishy so you might want to have a back-up plan for the off-chance that it doesn't fit. Mine would be a piece of light cord - tie round the left trunk hinge, pass under the (raised) spoiler and tie to the towing eye that you've just screwed into the rear bumper.
I've driven a long way with the trunk lid open, tied down like this, and after the first 'trunk open' message, there's no problem. But be sure put the cord under the spoiler if you're going to exceed 50mph as if the spoiler can't go up, there are lots of warnings -the spoiler not being able to go fully down doesn't cause any problem.
I put 6 full sized Dell computer towers with their keyboards, mice and cables and a flat panel box full of stuff in.
There is tons of space behind the front seats good for hats, laptops, ice scrappers, umbrella's, little coolers, junk food, etc.
My wife and I went on vacation with two airline OK bags, a bag for toiletries, a Keurig coffee maker and a paper bag full of food. Oh yea, a blanket, two pillows and rain coats. had room for two bags of trinkets on the ride home.
not much behind the seats, pocketbook/ laptop bag.
first weekend trip had two small bags and small dog bed (pappy kept hoping in his bed). dog supplies ect.
we we're pleasantly surprised to find pass through area has small has styrofoam cooler built in holds 2 6pks of soda.
that trip we had gotten my dad 21.5 inch iMac set up for his birthday-
large box fit just fine.
Which holds more stuff? A roadster or a cabrio that's using the back seat as luggage space?
Hard to tell as the outer dimensions are the same, and one would have to look at how much the cabriolet seats depth versus the roadster back separation takes. for everyday and convenience use I would still lean towards the roadster...
When we travel for a few days, I love that everything we take with us is for the most part hidden. With the Cabrio, a lot would be visible.
I'll admit, as we were filling the cart with plants, including two blueberry bushes, and a 3-4' dracaena palm I was getting a little nervous. I approach the car with our 20 plants and had a doubt for a few seconds, but went on with it, filling it up.
