Default Coupe vs. Vert

I need some help from you experts. Buying my first vette and trying to decide between coupe and vert.

Here's my issue, 2 sets of golf clubs, staff sized bags. Will either of the 2 models be able to carry them?

I like the looks of the coupe, but am concerned about golf clubs & luggage storage while the top is stowed. The vert, with the smaller trunk, can you fit 2-golf bags in there?

Let me know what problems/concerns you all have experienced.

For your needs - definitely the coupe. I'm sure happy with mine.

I had an 01 vert and now going to an 05 coupe and this was the only concern i had.

Also on the Coup vs vert
It all comes down to personal prefrence and $$$$
I had a vert on order but changed it to a coupe so i can get in in the Spring via Museum delivery.
I will get another vert again a in 06

I remember reading that they wanted to be able to fit 2 golf bags under the stowed top, but I don't have a C6 or play golf to confirm if this is true.

Default Coupe vs. vert

Thanks for the input. Any golfers out there who could reply?

My neighbor has the 50th vert. Is the trunk the same size as the '05?

I could try my bags in his. (No Minnesota dealers have verts yet).

Thanks again. As a new memeber, this forum is great source of info.!

I cannot speak to the Verts ability, but my 2005 Coupe holds both my wifes and my bags of clubs easily. Our bags aren't aircraft carrier class but are full set bags with stands and all. That is side by side, you could pile another in there easily if you wanted.

I'm sure if you want to get the Vert you could fit smaller travel bags but have not seen one in person yet. Sorry.

Unless your golf bags are about 3 inches thick, they won't fit under the stowed top.

Just put the golf bags in the back seat.

Don't know for sure that the vert trunk is the same size in the C6 as it is in the C5 . . . however, I was able to easily get two large (10") golf bags into the trunk of my C5 vert even with the top down.
