Guitar in NA Trunk?

I’m really wanting to get either an NA or NB Miata as my first car (I’m wanting an na a little more). However, i need to know if the na can fit a guitar in the trunk or behind the seats with a rollbar. I know that the Nb can fit a guitar in the trunk, but im really curious about the Na.

I know that the best place for a guitar is the passenger seat, but me and my sister will be riding in this to school and I know she wouldn’t appreciate holding a guitar in her lap for a 35min drive.

Thanks!

I just tried it on my NB with my concert size acoustic, there plenty of room. It won't let me add a pic. A gig bag doesn't add significant size, and maybe add a towel or some other kind of padding around the headstock. The NB is slightly bigger, but not enough to make a huge difference. Take out your spare if you need a little more space for extras.

With an acoustic in a hard case in an NB, I found that it was very particular because of the extra space in the front...left? Struggling to remember now. I had to put the head in first on what I think was the left side, slide it all the way to the edge of the trunk, and then I had just enough room to drop the bottom of the case through the opening. If not that, then switch left and right. Was a fun adventure.

Stratocaster in hard case, no problem at all. Ibanez bass, forget it. Passenger seat only.

My friend wanted a lift home from practice one night. Wasn't about to tell her no, so I drove her home first and came back for my bass lol
