Finally worked out why I “dislike” the G29

[GuidoK]

The E85 provides 240L of boot space with the roof down. The G29 provides 281L regardless of roof position. I was able get my golf clubs and electric trolly in the boot of my E89 and in the G29. Couldn’t in the E85 as the boot wasn’t wide enough.

Yet the boot of the e89 is ridiculously small with the roof down.

Dont really see the point of buying a roadster for golfing.
But for driving alpine passes with the top down....

280litres split into 150 front and 130 rear in a Boxster....just for interest....or not....sake....

Google says the clubs fit fine in a Boxa. Might have to get me a set

Apologies if I have offended with the hate word. That was not my intentions. I personally “hate” the g29 because from every angle it looks beautiful until you look one dead in the eye, then it’s one of the most horrible weak looking cars I have seen to date.

The thread was purely intended as a bit of humour, as my youngest daughter (5 years old) said the G29 looked like Sid out of Ice Age.

Never mind, made me chuckle if it didn’t anybody else.

Didn't offend me.
I'm a bit of a pedant with the English language and think strong words, overused, become weaker over time. That's all.

If you've already used 'hate' to describe the look of a car, what words would you upgrade to if you really, really did hate something.

Very very true mate, and an interesting why to look at it. That character from ice age however, I do hate!

Only just noticed you changed the title. I can sleep better now.

but the E85 and E86 were designed to cocoon the occupants and carry minimal luggage, perhaps an overnight bag for each is all you'd need.

The E85 is the from the 3 the one with the biggest boot I believe.
And if you only carry an overnight bag, you're using your roadster wrong.
Nothing better than driving a week through the Alps on the glorious mountain passes with the top down. Really, try it sometimes
When going in a group, you see the e89 owners (and z3 owners) struggeling with the available luggage space whereas the e85 has enough for 2 persons for 2 weeks. Pretty good for the smallest car with the least overhang.
So yes, luggage space is important in a roadster imho.

The E85 provides 240L of boot space with the roof down. The G29 provides 281L regardless of roof position. I was able get my golf clubs and electric trolly in the boot of my E89 and in the G29. Couldn’t in the E85 as the boot wasn’t wide enough.

You had to mention Golf clubs.

I could never get my surf board in the boot. Used to go in the passenger seat.
