Volvo should consider using aluminum for the C70's trunk lid, because it is heavy and hard to open or close. Once it's open, the amount of space you have to work with is dependent upon whether the top is raised or lowered. With the top up, the trunk is huge. With the top down, cargo can be carried only under the compartment shield. Still, a couple on a road trip can place a surprising amount of luggage within the C70's top-down confines – we managed two average-size roll-away suitcases and a carry-on. Just don't pack anything under there that you might need access to when the roof is lowered, or you'll be creating a roadside show with every stop. Also, note that Volvo provides a pass-through slot to the rear seat – nice! If have anything to complain about, it's that twice I bonked my head pretty hard on the edge of the decklid when it was raised.
