With the roof down (or removed) I can fit some very long stuff in my S2000 too. Too bad there's no glovebox or doorbins. You can't have everything I suppose :)
So the Elise doesn't have a glovebox, but it actually has tons of storage cubbies all around the cabin. When I test drove a 4C which is a fairly useless interior I realized just how low key usable the Elise is in that regard.
