I never check bags, so no. I will say that it was a chore to get the ski bag in through the little hole between the truck and the rear seating area.

When the top folds town into the trunk, it has to be able to get all the way in there or else the car gets cranky. Little things set off its emotional alerts. For example, a freak rainstorm came out of nowhere, so I put the top up at a red light. When I took my foot off the brake (before it was completely done going up), lights started flashing at me. All that to say, make sure your bags will actually fit in there, because it might not take kindly to having you cram more in there than can legitimately fit while having the top down.

Personally I found the C70 a pretty nice ride, I got it at D/FW for a good rate ($40/day upcharge from a $18/day midsize).
