JamieZ4C said:My circumstances somewhat dictated purchasing a Z4. Although my garage is 5.5m in length, storage at the far end meant I only had 4.2m for a car. This ruled out a surprising number of alternatives I was considering
BMW Z4C 4.09m
Nissan 350Z 4.31m
Porsche Cayman 4.37m
Audi TT (MK1) 4.04m
Alfa GTV 4.29m
Fiat Coupe 4.25m
So really, I was very lucky that the Z4 was my favorite anyway!
BTW I did also consider a Lotus Elise at only 3.73m. But they're a little too racing car, not so much sports car for my liking.
So there are plenty of cars under 4.5m which i would personally recommend you treat as your minimum.
As a side, my garage is 2.5m wide, and it's not exactly elegant getting in and out! I long for a double garage. So, as Crazy Harry says, make it as wide as you can
Similar to mine, I’ve got 4.3m before the shelving / chest freezer so i discount any car that won’t fit.
Sad really but when you live a stones throw from Manchester and Bradford you’ll understand why anything half decent needs to be garaged.
