RX-8 Trunk
Anyone see or hear about the storeage capacity of the trunk and/or interior bins and glovebox? Will it hold a set or 2 of golf clubs? I assume from the look of the rear window and the cut lines of the rear deck that the RX-8 has a trunk and not a hatch.
|
Capacity is 10.8 Cu. ft. and yes, it wil fit two sets of clubs as long as you don't have golf bags the size of Tiger Woods.:p
|
10.8 cu ft is good - I expected around 9.
Boowana - did you read this somewhere confidential or actually measure it? Or were you involved in the design... |
Yeah Boowana, where did you find this? Also, what is the shape of the trunk?
|
Originally posted by Boowana ...Mazda did tell us publicly at Sevenstock last weekend that the trunk space was something like 10.8 cubic feet. If there is a fold dddown option, you would think that they would have said something like "10.8' with the seats up and XX.X' with the seats folded. Nothing's for sure in the seat department yet. i do agree, it would be a nice option. |
Considering the 3 series BMW gives ya 10.7 cu. ft of storage, that's not too shabby at all.
But everybody knows that it's HOW the space is set up, not how much there is. |
I just had to dredge up the past here. this thread says the 8 has 10.7 cu ft of trunk space but the mazda brochure states a paltry 7.6 cu ft. does any one know why the disparity and what it really is? i know of mazdas extreame accuracy in regards to putting our the specs... note the sarcasm in my online voice.

Who cares? You can fit a crap load of stuff back there, and that's all I care about.
And as far as the golf bag question. If I can fit two golf bags in the trunk of my MR2 then the 8 will have no problem. |
the only reason i bring up this long dead thread, is that when i buy mine in december i am looking at doing a road trip right away one direction of it will be with a 3 and a hlaf year old and my wife , greated it will only be their and my luggage but still neding to know haw much space there is... wives you know are picky about stupid $h17 like that...
|
i did a road trip up to the mountains with my wife, 4 year old, and 1 year old and my wife likes to pack a lot. it was packed but we fit everything okay.
|
OUTSTANDING. thx man.

I didn't have the spare kit. Don't think it would make a difference. |

If they're still alive they can hit the emergency release and get out :rolleyes: |
^^ Ha ha!
I'm a hockey goalie and let's just say that all my gear including legpads will fit in the trunk (coincidentally, my hockey bag is big enough to put a body in :)) |
No spare tire kit and I can fit two golf carry bags in the trunk but you have to take the big drivers out of the bags to fit in the trunk opening (then lay the drivers on top). Can also fit one roll-on 22 inch suitcase on the trunk shelf with room for pre-mix and couple of quarts of oil. If you need more space for her luggage, there's always one back seat with the other for the car seat.
Plenty of room to travel with two adults and a child. |
Just go down to the dealership and look at a used 8.
You can bring your stuff with you. Load it up and see how it fits. Then take it out and tell the saleman you will think about it. |
Just say, how many bodies can it fit... (Ask to see how many salesmen can fit in)
Ask how fast is it in a police chase... then make a low ball offer on the car in cash. :p |
Large......

I keep my six-foot trunk monkey in there......

I just love the dip in the middle. It holds anything I ever throw back there in place when I ram through turns. Not big, but sufficient, I could see getting one gold bag in there. Who uses a trunk anyways hahah.
|
Be aware that the trunk opening is pretty small and may require some creative packing.

It won't fit 2 sets of cart bags but the carry/stand bags will fit. I thought the trunk was pretty big compared to the S2000 and Miata then I got a Corolla S rental on business and realized it's actually pretty small.

I put one leg pad in the dip, the sticks on top through the center part, a pad in the back of the trunk, and then I shove the bag in the space left over. |
