Can you lay the seats down and slide them through the boot and on top of the rear seats? I think that counts. I've never seen a cabrio in person, so I don't know the details. Mom wants a convertible.... dad just wants a car. He's driving my old '96 altima that they bought to compliment their '94 altima. The 96 has over 200,000 miles on the odo, which only works about 1/2 the time!
I'll never be able to talk him into a new car, so we'll have to find a used cabrio. Are there any "common" problems to watch out for on the 2nd gen Cabrios?

I have had two sets in my R57... (just as long as only two people is OK)
I had one set in through the trunk with the back seats down.. and the other was layed across the backseats... top went up and down without issues as well..
getting the bags through the trunk and onto the back seats is a bit tricky thought as it depends on how wide your bag is...

Dad has a Ping Hoofer 2 (he walks alot) and Mom has a smaller cart bag. I think they'll fit. If any of you are walkers and haven't tried a Hoofer, see if you can find one to try. I also have a Hoofer and they are GREAT.
Thanks for all the responses everyone! I'll send this thread to my dad.

Minidomore (and others) have this to offer:
I just but 2 bags in the booth of our cabrio with the 2 seats down, no problems. But I would go for the hitch system if I was a serious golfer.
Bonus, it looks really cool!
Or, If they already have travel cases for their clubs, then they could get by with something like this...

I don't have any pics, but will take some next time, but I have done it a few times, top down, back seat down they fit no problem. Maybe if you have gigantic cart bags, but it should not be a problem. I have mine back there, with the pull cart regularly. Went to Palm Springs for a long weekend with the wife in June, only one set of clubs, but also a ton of luggage, same with AMVIV this year.

This thread has been really helpful. I have been looking at getting a car to replace my Chrysler Sebring Convertible in the next 12-18 months. One of my requirements, besides fun to drive and good fuel economy, is being able carry my golf clubs or my hockey bag. I had considered a new Miata, but surprisingly there is no way to get the clubs in the car, other than carrying them in the front seat. My son has a MCS Clubman, and we can actually get both his hockey bag and my hockey bag in at the same time without putting the seats down. The Clubman is great, but I want a convertible. The R57 boot is small, but the fold down rear seats would seem to make it liveable. I had suspected I could get the clubs in that way and this thread seems to confirm my assumption.
