Purchased Dec. 27, 2003, 3200 mi, mostly on a trip to Florida. Have one problem (thumping simular to a back fire when stopped at a light -- service notified and waiting for me to bring it in)
AS TO Fitting GOLF Bags in car. I would not buy the car until I was able to get my clubs in the car. They will fit if you place the business end of the clubs including the driver (King Cobra) up on the shelf at the back of one of the seats. (this takes some careful placement until you find the key to the fit) Then angle the bottom end of the bag toward the other side of the opening, it will just fit into the well. It fits low enough that you can still see behind the passenger seat and out the side window.
I was able to include my luggage (all three pieces) and various other items in with the golf clubs lying across on top towards the back seats. It is almost a natural area to place the clubs when carrying luggage. -- IMF101, PROWLER39 and WMichaels, let me know if this helps. Ed
PS (I keep my rain cover on the clubs to protect my interior)
