Less than the coupe! About 1/2 to 2/3 I'd say....

You only get the under bonnet in the spyder but in the coupe you get the area behind the seats which is very useable!

Wouldn't know as it wouldn't get used for that!

At a guess 2-3 under the bonnet and a couple on the shelf behind he seats. Personally I just use the passenger footwell if I have a bag.

You'd likely get 5 "supermarket bags" in the front... I have the fitted soft luggage and it's surprising what fits.

In the Coupe you can get a bag of golf clubs behind the seats too :)
