The "two golf bag capacity" is an old measurement  for small cars.

Remember when car magazines would compare two family cars and one of the

thins was to see how many grocery bags fit in the trunk?

I golf too and I would definitely love to have a trunk that big. That

means next year I could drive down to South Carolina in the Miata

instead of in the MPV.
