Planning a Florida Trip, need trunk size help
Hello everybody!
Yes, I am in fact completely new to the forums, and no, I don't (yet) own a Camaro. Shame on me. I do however know how to use the Search feature but alas, it didn't help me in finding a good answer. (I've searched both the site and googled for about 3 hours so far and never found all answers). So what's my question ? - Me and my wife are planning another Florida vacation in June and last year we rented a <something else we shouldn't mention in here> Convertible and this year I want to rent a Camaro (Coupe or Convertible). They're a little more expensive but it feels like if nothing else, it should be a blast driving one. So my question is : What can we fit in the trunk? I have found some measurements from people on the forums (although MerlinZero's "uh.... 1 set of golf clubs... or three small children..." isn't quite specific enough for our taste and I saw the picture of the couple that jumped into the trunk and it feels like 3 children... ? Should fit 4!). There is also mention of HeatherR's pictures but I haven't been able to find the right thread to see them. (Yes I looked at her profile). I tried searching for all posts by HeatherR with the word "trunk" in them to no avail. Is the trunk opening of the vert the same as the coupe ? 30" at the rear of the car and 26.5" at the front of the car? How large is the trunk itself in the Coupe? How large is the trunk itself in the Vert? Top up? Top down? Is there a difference between the LT and the SS? I will modify what I bring according to the size of the trunk but last year we had two large suitcases in the <other thing> and we could only fit one in the trunk of it. I'd like to fit them both somehow if possible, even if it means putting them in through the car and not through the trunk opening. And.. can you still do that in the vert? Or is that only the Coupe? Anyone feel like helping me out? (Also count the wheel well if you give me inside dimensions please). Thanx! EDIT: Here's what I've found so far. WARNING: The numbers are not guaranteed to be exact. Code:
Trunk Opening: Width Rear Edge: 26.5" 67cm Front Edge: 30" 76cm Max: 33" 83cm Length (Front>Back): 16" 40cm Depth (Up>Down): 16.5" 42cm Inside Trunk: Width Max: 53" 134cm Wheel wells: 47" 119cm Length Normal: 44" 111cm Folded Seats: 68" 172cm Rear seat to trunk opening: Width: 38" 96cm Depth (Up>Down): 11" 28cm Last edited by Blast; 02-23-2012 at 09:26 AM. |

I went to Sams club and bought a full shopping cart of stuff, not realizing I no longer have an Avalanche..........managed to get it ALL in the trunk AND get the trunk lid to shut without having to jump up and down on it.

I fit my entire life into the car one time. I'm talking full scale I moved. Everything was full of stuff (including the passenger seat) but it fit! There is plenty of space in there if you are creative

coupe.... I had one rather large suitcase, two big travel bags, cleaning supplies, uniforms, a king size pillow in the trunk ( took a two month school vacation to Pensacola last year), and on the way back I added my daughters large travel bag, food and a cooler..oh those went in the back seat.... ( added two trophies to the trunk plus more clothes).. does that help?

The seat does not fold down on the 'vert. And remember you lose trunk space with the top down. .
