I'm looking for a small, fuel efficient car with some panache, and two-seat roadsters fit the bill, e.g., BMW Z3 Z4, Mazda Miata, Honda S2000, Mini Cooper, Nissan 350Z, etc...

Please reply if you own one or know someone who owns one and whether their golf clubs fit in the trunk (mandatory requirement)

Thanks.

I had a 2002 honda s2000. my clubs fit and i have a ping bag. I would usually have to take my driver out though. You should have not problem, but you can only fit clubs w/ nothing else.

I had a 350Z and I was able to get my golf bag in there. Now, i will say this, since it's a hatchback, if you go with the Z, you'll hear the clanks of the clubs hitting eachother because its open back there. You'll have a blast in the car, thats a promise. I think you should consider the G35/G37 coupe. That fits with no problem (and its pretty much a 2 seater cuz no one ever fits in the back of that thing....who are we kidding)...

My 350Z has been to many many rounds in the 5.5 years I've had it. Wroks great. It can squeeze two bags in there, but thats tight. One bag is not problem. I take my driver out and put it in the deeper part to make getting the bag in and out easier.

In the bag:

I've been down the sportscar road and frankly, for a golfer, it's not great. Cramming your bags and stuff is just a pain not to mention the potential for damage.

Try this on for size: Mini-van. Don't laugh! If you put down the rear seats you have comfortable room for four and scads of room for all your golf equipment and luggage. Can you say ROAD TRIP? Have the van modded. Lowered about 3 or 4 inches with some dub wheels. It would be truly phat.

You're still laughing at me. Actually Mercedes makes the R-class. Check it out.

I can fit 4 bags in my car........granted, I can only fit one passenger.......

I've spent most of my life golfing - the rest I've just wasted.

The guy I play w/ has an S2000. We fit 2 bags in his trunk if we remove the woods from the second bag. Of course these are fairly small carry bags...

I second the vote for the BMW 135i. If I hadn't bought my current car (A3 3.2) last year I'd be getting one of those in a heart beat.

Thanks for the replies..glad to hear the car manufacturers make them large enough to fit golf clubs. My primary limitations are MPG (must be 25mpg, no Corvette) and cost, I'm looking at used (no BMW 1-series) to keep the price down (no Boxster).

Thanks again.

My 07 Mustang has a huge trunk. I can fit 2 golf bags easily. In fact it acts as my golf locker most of the time right now it has my clubs, 4 pairs of shoes, 3 dozen balls, and some extra golf towels.

Well, if you never play golf with anyone or travel anywhere to play golf, drive whatever you please! You can let the clubs ride in the passenger seat. Sportscar and practical don't fit in the same sentence. I just know that "cramming" stuff in your trunk is a potential for damage. Putting stuff in different parts of your car is a pain. A true golf fanatic might want to do a rethink on his mode of transportation. There are a lot of nice cars that would still be "styling" and have road performance and still fit your equipment. BMW, Acura, etc. Take a look!

Actually, the vette is quite fuel efficient (if you stay out of the gas), thanks to good aero, tall 6th gear, and very light weight due to its lack of creature comforts and compact OHV engine design. 08 vette gets 16/26 compared to s2000 and 350z each at 18/25, and has a 200 hp advantage on the honda and 125 on the nissan, and the torque numbers are even more one-sided.

Performance wise it will absolutely blow the doors off any of the cars that have been mentioned, but it won't be as comfortable because its built to go fast. Its also on the high end of prices but it will probably very reliable because its just a light car with a small block chevy.

    • On my car I got the extended power train warranty. I do read the fine print most of the time. Though at now 37, my eyes aren’t what they were 10 years ago.    The problem with most of these extended warranties on electronics and appliances is you don’t register the warranty with the place you buy the warranty from, which I’ve always found strange. Unless it’s GameStop then you know Alina drops her Switch in the next two years and the screen cracks they’ll replace it. No questions asked.    You buy a slow cooker at Walmart for $50 and the extended warranty is say $6, you have to go through a third party to register your product for the warranty, and it’s pretty damn annoying. Target is the same way. Anything you buy the extended protection on you have to go through a third party.    Why do retailers go through a “broker” for warranties? Because they don’t wanna deal with it? They make me talk to someone from another country, that I can barely understand, when I need my warranty fulfilled.   Sorry for the rant.
    • You may be able to find a regular flex Blueboard on the second hand market. I’m little more than half your age so I swing a shaft that launches pretty low so I don’t have a lot of experience with Regular flex (other than when I try to hit it I miss way to the left).    There are other shafts, such as the newer Ping Alta that I’ve heard good things about. And one that no one talks about. The Jupiter shaft. You can get this shaft for a $100 with a grip and your Ping adapter installed. I was talking to the golf manager at Dick’s Sporting Goods here and he has one in his driver and has nothing but good things to say about it. I thought about getting one for my Paradym Triple Diamond to play it a little shorter, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.

    • Meanwhile, another old Tour Edge guy switches to Callaway for this season. I have a different problem, course dependent set-ups. What I’m wondering is if @dragonsmhas the 8 iron set 5-PW, AW, GW or just 5-PW, GW. Because the PW is 42°, AW 47°, and GW 52°. Because that could potentially be a gap there. The 5-iron to 6-iron length jump is 5/8” instead of 1/2” so you should be careful of that.    @WUTiger the problem most people have with 3-woods is they don’t play them far enough back into their stance. And they usually don’t have enough loft and the shaft is too long. So 3HL, 4 or 5-wood is probably better for most golfers. I do the “Frankenwood” approach. I have both the 3+ and 5 woods. I typically will either add two degrees to the 3+ on 6600 yards or longer courses, or take a degree off the 5-wood on shorter courses than 6300 or so, and use the 5-wood shaft for both. I don’t usually find a situation where I need both the 3 and 5 wood on a course. I don’t play from 7000 yards it’s no fun. Edit: I mostly agree with @WUTiger on the gapping, although a lot of the newer even fixed hosel fairway woods are made better than what we had when we were playing the old Exotics XRails.
