Agreed, even with the top down I can fit a decent amount of groceries back there (no spare tire).
On the golf clubs, you can easily put several back there as well, just not the bag. I always keep my TM driver and a wedge back there for those times I need a break.

Why do most people have trouble accepting their cars' shortcomings?? Seems stupid to me.
before you acuse me of not accepting the "shortcoming" of the car, give me a break. i never said we have a big trunk, i always just say we have a decent truck for a convertible.

and i don't care how much stuff you pack in those albertson bags, but every time i can just easily slide the bags in. the only time i have to squeeze is if i want to utilize the two "holes" on the side behind the taillights.

acusing me of "hiding" shortcomings of the car, what a joke.

let's not turn this thread into a crazy argument!! obviously diff owners will have varying opinions on the sufficiency of the rear seat (for people and/or cargo) and the practicality of the trunk w/ the tray in place.

it's beneficial for potential owners to hear real world opinions on this subject, good AND not-so-good... (that's what makes CL a great forum)

All very well said. This is a beautiful car, IMO will be a classic. I would not say that the non-functional backseats and small trunk are shortcomings of the SC. We all know what we are getting into when we bought this car. I like to think of the rear seats as a 'just-in-case' option, you could conveniently ignore their existence until such time that you absolutely have to squeeze someone or something back there. As for the trunk I find it amazingly adequate for running all my daily errands.
