Can 2 people, 2 kiteboards etc fit into a Mazda MX5 for a road trip?
Im looking into buying a used car.
also looking at good old Honda civics, VW golf and VW polo. Maybe a peugeot.
I'm spending 3k-8k.
I got 2 people, 2 boards, 2 kites, 2 dogs, 2 cats,a partrige and the pear tree into a Getz once 
It must be a pretty crappy mx5 for that price. 2 seater, don't think it would be a good choice if you are doing a road trip. You might get 1 board & 2 kites but not much more. No suitcases, only. Go for something a bit bigger.
I had a ford Capri a few years ago, and would fit mine and my mates gear in, however did have a very small back seat that helped but still depending on the length of ur board you will prob be ok!
U could maybe get the boot roof rack things?
Dont do the Rag top man
get a 4 door or station wagon, youll get sick of having no room in no time..
The rags leak and will give you the S**ts and Chic Pulling Power has reduced to 5% if its an old one 
Let Kitesurfing rule your ego bro 
Consider the Honda Integra.
I bought one new in 1994 when I was single, got married, had 2 kids and it is still my daily car.
Fold the rear seats down and you can get a tonne of kiting gear in the back.
1979 VW Kombi Camper - that's what you need for 2 people with all their gear on a road trip!
You mentioned a Civic - I'm a big fan of the EG civics (92-98 i think)... You can easily get 2 people and a quiver of kites + surfboards each in the back of that... and it'll be cheaper, and more comfy than the MX5...
I saw a red P plater with her MX5 teetering down the side of the Bruce highway yesterday... Woulda been fully squished if she rolled it...
Only buy an MX5 if you've taken up hairdressing. Honda Jazz has loads of room with the back seats down (2 kites, surfboards, 2 TT, bucket of wet stuff, box of accessories and front seats are free. (See my car)
I drive a 96 hona civic, with the back seats down you can fit 6' 3' long boards diagonally across, or two people and surf kite gear.
OMG......what a bunch of Queens you seabreezers are !!!!
MX5's ?
Civics ?
Capris ?
Jazz ?
WTF............. get a real car for your road trip. Not hairdresser transport

There are plenty more thay are just off the first page..........
mX5 ....pfffffftttt.
LOL, harry potter the friendly wizard with anger management issues...
I'm pretty set on the Civic at this stage. Seats down, mini wagon.
I may mention it has to be fuel efficient/inexpensicve in every way as its primary role is work transport.http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/private/details.aspx?R=9905249&ref=RecentItem&__Ns=pCar_Odometer_Single|0||pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|0&__N=1216%201282%204294965250%204294965322%20903%20443&__Nne=15
Don't knock the Jazz, Harry!
6.0 lt/100km
air con, power everything
continuous variable auto transmission
tiptronic transmission ie auto or 7 speed manual with stearing wheel paddles
(I'm starting to sound like a used car salesman!)
my kids never ask to borrow it
any thief would be too embarrased to steal it
Still running the same tyres after 50,000 kms
