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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What do you do?
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.
