Cargo capacity (in cubic guitars)
I need a new car and am seriously considering waiting for the A3 to come stateside. They just aren't that many good AWD coupe/hatchbacks over here.
Question: How does the rear cargo area compare spacewise on the A3 vs the Golf/ R32 platforms? Specifically, I play guitar and end up crating a lot of guitar gear about. It's be nice to be able to fit an accoustic guitar in the back cargo area without having to put down the seats. It BARELY fits into an R32/Golf 4, anybody have any experience with the A3 and guitars? The R32 rocks, but it's a might too small.
Maybe I should just take up viola.

Re: Cargo capacity (in cubic guitars)
Well you can't fit a golf bag there if that helps any. I have a hard shell case for a Fender Strat and I'm pretty sure you can't fit it there. Not 100% sure though, never tried...

Re: A3 Sportback...
>significantly bigger carrying...
Oh, good.
It look like the sportback is coming stateside this spring. Hopefully the Quattro/3.2V6 will be along by summer. Once the v6 gets here, I will purchase one, assuming my guitar fits.
Ironically, all I need is about 4 extra inches of width to the back compartment from the R32 and the accoustic would fit pefectly without having to reconfigure the vehicle. Maybe the next gen MkV based R32 will be enough larger to accomodate my unreasonable demands.

Rubbish, almost the same size
There's nearly no difference between the cargo sizes of 3-door A3 and Sportback. 3-door has 330 litres and Sportback has 350 litres.
Talk about huge difference, huh? You couldn't see the difference in flesh.
