Cars that would fit in garage
I am looking to buy a new / nearly new car but am limited by what will fit into my garage. I drive approx. 75/ 80 miles per week on average (within London) to and from work / to the shops , with at least 1 long trip (London to Edinburgh) per year.
I need to be able to fit 4 adults routinely in to the car with ease of access a priority - 2 of the adults being my elderly parents. Space/ leg room in the rear of the cabin important, with my husband and father both being over 6 foot.
My current car a 56 Honda Jazz fits into the garage with the side mirrors folded (electric folding mirrors are a must) but with limited room to spare.
I have looked at a couple of cars in the last few months and did test drive a Hyundai i20x, the salesman tried to get the car into said garage but gave up.
I would be happy with a new car with a long warranty or a nearly new, with budget being around £15k maximum , but to date haven't found the right car that actually fits into garage and would fit 4 adults in comfort.

The narrowest new cars with decent legroom are the Skoda Rapid, Skoda Rapid Spaceback and SEAT Toledo. The Spaceback had the roomiest back seats: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/skoda/skoda-rapid-.../
