Saw one at SBA a week or two ago; when the counter agent said, "We've got a really nice car for you today," and I saw it in the lot, I figured perhaps they'd upgraded me really well. Alas, I had a Nissan Altima or something similar.

You might be able to get 2 small golf bags in a vert but that is it.
I dont think you would have a chance with a larger cart bag, and def not golf travel bags.
Never put clubs in a hardtop but I would imagine there is much more room.

The Chevrolet website says it has 11 cubic feet of space, and can fit two golf bags. Not sure if that's with the top up or down (there's a removable partition to free up more space at the cost of preventing the top from operating).
I can fit two carry-on size bags and a messenger bag in the back and still put the top down.

From what I can tell they no longer have the ZHZs (which interestingly used to be classified as XEAR); those were only built in 2008 and 2009, and were retired between 2010 and early-2011. The only model in the fleet now is the Corvette Convertible (U6, PTAR, Adrenaline Collection).
Last December I rented one of these out in SLC and wrote a ride report about it. Mine was red but other people have gotten them in other colors; not sure if there are any yellow ones though

They are all the base model now with a manual top that is very easy and quick to operate and allows for additional room in the trunk when the top is up. Just as much fun to drive as the old ZHZ's, although I do miss the louder dual mode exhaust that the ZHZ's had.
More recently I have noticed Hertz has been providing only one key which is nice rather than being stuck with two large remotes in your pocket.

LAX last weekend had two 2012 Corvettes with 26,000 and 28,000 miles. There was also a 2013 Corvette with only 6,000 miles. It looks like Hertz has started to add some 2013's to the fleet. They are identifiable by the 60th anniversary emblems.

I had a 2013 Convertible for the this last week in OGG. I chose red, but white was also available. Both had less than 300 miles on them.

Confirming about 20-30 brand new Corvettes in SFO.
They had one with 30 dollar upgrade offer which I was ready to take them up upon, but somehow it ended up being 800 dollars worth of additional charges for a week rental.
They said they couldn't rent them for that upgrade charge one way, which I must say was extremely stupid!
Just think about it, 30 brand new vettes collecting dust in half empty SFO garage with practically every other car rented out to holiday travelers. Come on, who on earth is gonna rent a convertible in San Francisco weather in December?
I was practically doing them a favor because I was going to return it to Hollywood! Out of all locations, Hollywood HLE would be more than happy to have one of those, but stuck up SFO staff couldn't let one go. They wanted to give me a crappy 2012 Impala LT or similar, fabric seats, worn out interior, etc, so I settled for 25 dollar upgrade to 2013 Mustang..... sigh....
