Fitting the car in a standard garage

[Ian C]

After much worry the car slotted home easily today. I am sure it is smaller than the official measurements but not complaining

Wow, I'd need to do Yoga and lose a few pounds. It would annoy me daily. You are committed!

Is everyone wondering how @Ian C got out the drivers door?

 

[dgrace]

I figured he puts it in neutral and hops out, then pushes it into place.

The real question is "where does he keep all the replacement windscreens?"

Ian,

Out of interest, how wide is your garage opening, and how wide inside?

Holy crap that’s a close fit. Hope the Emira does not gain any weight

I have a 20ft wide garage and the wife hates getting close to the side so she parks her Macan almost in the middle, I feel your space crunch.

Why you say they lied about measurements?

@Ian C That looks like less than 12" to get out, need to see video of this operation

Is that in Japan? I would be claustrophobic.

I think we need a thread dedicated to videos of everyone getting in and out of their garage parked Emiras.

I measured the garage space so many times based on the published spec and through that there was no way to get it in , (and me to get out) but it worked.
I have some protective padding going on the wall this weekend but managing to get in and out with a squeeze.

But they don’t lie about sizes , That's the last complaint I thought I would read here about the car.

I reckon he sleeps in the car

Surely all men lie about size. That’s why the car fits. Smaller than advertised.

What's with the boot misalignment (I have misalignmentophobia...) ??

I spotted (in the showroom) a slight misalignment where the rear side panel protruded slightly from the tailgate lid - but only on one side.

I don't think I've owned a car that I haven't taken back to have something lined up - I can sense them groaning when I turn up at a showroom.

Ian,

Interested in what size your garage is (since I have the same dilemma). Width of the door gap.? Width of the garage inside? Please do tell.

Yeah seen that already - but looks on the photo like it's only one side...
