I'm talking about a big garage of course smile

I have what I guess is a standard size garage with the usual garage stuff stored in there. What is realistically the smallest space I could keep a boxster in without having to much of a squeeze to get in/out ?

Cheers.

I drive in mine with about an inch either side of the wing mirrors, I can also park in my dads and have to put one wing mirror in.

Still in our 90's 3 bed Wimpey house and my 981CS - assume same dimensions as Boxster -fits in the garage without any problems. Wouldn't let SWMBO have a go though!

I’m about to move, the search for a new house took sometime as it appears you’re re are not expected to actually fit a car inside a garage.
Can’t get my 981 CS in my current garage and get out the car without a major struggle, even with carpet or foam strip on the walls.
The new HQ, a new build with a big single garage, 3m x 7m... perfect. Happy days.

I did exactly this when buying our current house the 991 had to fit in the garage and when I changed to the Vantage one was brought over to make sure it fitted.

Good excuse for a long test drive instead of the 20 minutes most places want to give you.

Dimensions should be on the Porsche configurator.. I can measure my opening if that helps?

If you're limited by width and you have a drop top it's easier to get out in less space with the roof down..

My 981 BGTS just fits through the garage door frame with a couple of inches a side.

If it's tight once in the garage try to get electric folding mirrors else you'll be forever moving them manually as I do!
