Coupe trunk vs sedan trunk

How much bigger is the trunk in sedan vs coupe? I can barely fit a jogging stroller into my coupe's trunk. Would it be a challenge in a sedan too?

Same with hockey gear bag. I mean I can squeeze my hockey bag in my coupe's trunk. How much easier would it be for a sedan?

way easier. I took a 3' X 3' X 1' bookshelf off a friend who was moving and didn't want it, slid right into the sedan's trunk.

lol this is true, I recall my sedan being MUCH bigger. The Coupe has a poor use of space.

sedan's trunk is much bigger, but you'd be surprised what you can squeeze in a coupe's trunk with the back seats down

You can fit your hockey bag in your trunk??? Mine MIGHT barely fit, but it's a bitch getting it in and out.. I just put the back seats down and put it on top of the back seats by way of the passenger door.

I actually like a small coupe trunk


You don't have to dive into it in order to get something out and hit your head on a DAMN trunk lid. Fvck Volkswagen for making such deep fvcking trunks with their fvcking trunk lid hanging over your head waiting for you to fvcking hit your head on it. Fvck them!!!


Small G trunk FTW

Are you a goalie?

My bag fits but it is snug and tight. I have pockets for skates on the front of the bag. I put the bag stakes-in-first. Sticks go between front seats with blades where passenger feet are.

I had an '03 g35 sedan before my coupe and the trunk is much bigger on that than the coupe. I could fit alot more things in it, but i didn't buy the coupe to pack the trunk with stuff.

I did not buy the coupe to haul stuff around. I bought it just a couple of months before we found out that we are about to expand our family. I like the car but I bought it at the wrong time. Should have held off on that...

But I would not gain much in trunk space still. My previous car was an IS300, which has a trunk smaller than the one of Corolla!

Even with a coupe 19 for a spare tire, two 12W6's in fiberglass boxes, a 1000/1 and 450/4 in a custom amp rack I can still go to the grocery store and spend $200-250 and fit it all in my trunk.

Nope not a goalie... I put the sticks in through to the trunk when the seat is down... I'm sure I could shove my bag in the trunk but I'd rather not try because since I've taken the trunk lining out a few times I'm sure I'd pop something off - used to happen in my Prelude so I started throwing the bag in the backseat.

the one thing that annoys me about the coupe trunk is how shallow the height is in it.

u can't fit a damn cooler in there. i had to buy one of the fabric collapsible ones, that are absolutely terrible at keeping things cold... and it barely wedges in. they should have went with run-flats and gotten rid of that spare... make the trunk more useful.
