Hi all,

I'm looking at buying a mk1 vRS, but will need to put it in a fairly compact garage. Can anyone tell me how long the car is (4503mm?), and whether this includes the standard exhaust which looks to stick out a fair way.

Cheers,

Matt

Hi Matt

Sallon is 4507mm

Estate is 4513mm

Exhaust should be OK

Cheers Bill. Does the 4507mm include the exhaust sticking out then or is it in-line with the bumper?

Hi Matt

4507 is total length inc exhaust

I dont want to put you off an Octy vRS cos they are great cars, but I find it very difficult to judge exactly how much space I have at the front and back from the drivers seat due to the long front overhang and high back end.

Bill.

PS. would it be possible to move/reposition your garage door a couple of inches to give a bit extra room ???

I have a standard size garage and it fits in with a large 2.5ft wide rack in front of it. Should be fine!

If your local i am sure a member would pop round to see if it goes in

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. Good to know that includes the exhaust. I need to double check whether I can nudge the door forward, could always just knock through into my neighbours house I suppose ;-)

Coming from a Mini Cooper S, the lack of perception of how long the thing is is going to be a bit confusing, but i'm hoping to find a vRS with rear parking sensors to give me a hand until I'm up to speed.

Cheers,

Matt
