Thanks for the offer, but they'll be coming in later at 10:30

I'm going to test out the space today with my own luggage to see how realistic it is...


Thanks for the advice everyone!


If I didn't have work I'd hang around. Would have been cool if times worked out though.

I don't get why people are saying no. MS3s are surprisingly huge inside. If you take the cover out of the back you should be able to fit a lot more than 3 large suitcases back there. You might not be able to see out the back window but they'll fit. And as long as you or the other adult up front don't need your seats all the way back, one adult will easily fit in the back seat. It will be a little cramped but not that bad.

I actually miss having my MS3 and being able to do things like this, and bringing home a water heater in the box and a full size futon mattress.

success!
It worked out great, every piece of luggage fit in the back, and all passengers were comfortable :)

I usually have my doubts about space with cars that can't fit a wheelchair in it. I know when we went to Greece this summer we fit 4 large suitcases in my cousins Cherokee. Has way more space then a 3.

Wow. That is very impressive. I'll keep that in mind if I ever have to do the same.

Sweet. It is tighter than I thought it would be. I guess all the times I hauled stuff I had the back seats down so it feels way bigger. Nice job tetrising it all in there though.

I hope to see "tetrising" in Webster this year. Big thumbs up for its use!

That's awesome dude. My parents are in town and I took 'em zippin around the other day and they were thoroughly impressed with the amount of room in my MS3. I'm proud of our little cars!
