As a future V8S owner, I have one very urgent question to the guys in the know:
Does a golf bag fit in the boot ( with drivers and all)? If not, that will not hinder me to get a V8s, I just have to prepare the Misses that she will have to walk as the Golf bag needs the passenger seat....

You won't have time for golf,
you'll be spending so much time 'driving' the S

Never tried myself but looking at it I don't see why not, check with 'shnozz' he used to have an 'S' and plays golf, he now has a 'golf cart' .
You could always take a set on the test drive .

yep, golf bag fits no problem. Trolley/Caddy must use the front seat though.

Ooooohhhh..... T-shirt on this subject

1) I found that the space saver spare will fit flat on the shelf in the middle behind the seats.

and

2) The battery compartment board isn't usually in place (I disconnect it each time coz if I don't use the car, the mother of all Big Ben car clocks likes to run it flat inside 2 weeks. )

So then yes, 1 bag will fit in without trolley easily....with trolley only just....maybe even 2 small/medium bags....but its the in and out that's the fun part.

If u go left to right, the irons could move and short out the battery, so I go right to left.

Club heads end in 1st so to avoid them hitting the surrounding paintwork.

Whichever, taking the "big dog", and probably all the "timber" style clubs out the bag makes life a lot easier.

If the wife plays and u both have trolleys....get a Chimaera.

ah yeah, forgot that the V8S has a battery in the boot too. My V6S had the battery under the bonnet.

Of course, if the answer to the "do you play golf?" question is yes, you should really be looking at the Chimaera, and see my profile for appropriate number plates....

You can always junk the spare wheel and get some tyreweld. I did it a while ago and the extra space is worth it IMHO.
