944 load length
Discussion
Hello
I'm considering a 944 (probably an S2) for my next car, however one of my requirements is that it has to get a bike in with just the front wheel off. With that in mind, I was wondering if an existing owner of a 944 would be able to measure the distance from the back of the front seats (in an average kinda position) to the back of the boot? This will give me an idea of feasability - I'd rather not go and view one for sale and just waste the guy's time if it's way too short. If I got one I'd probably remove the rear seat permanently so that's not an issue.
I had a look through some broscure but couldn't find anything about luggage capacity or dimensions
Thanks in advance

I think you should be ok, I recently picked up my sons new bike in the back of ours, with the wheels on. The passenger seat was all the way forward though.
One of the issues is the load height at the end of the car, and the washwipe motor getting in the way. This could be deleted though as it is almost a complete waste of time. Also the spare tyre sits upright in a well at the back of the space, but I can't remember if this is still the case in an S2.
If I remember I will try measuring mine when I get home.

thanks! I'd searched for '944 bicycle' and a bunch of other terms but not found that. Looks like its on 
Wheel's not full sized, but has a deflated tyre on it. Still pretty massive, though. Where are you based? The simple thing is to try it out in someone's car, there should be someone willing to help. There are certainly people who carry bikes in the back of 944s, but that doesn't mean they have the same size bike as you!

Not a bike an indication of how much space there is in the back of a 944 with the seats down, I once took home 12 grow bags and 6 bags of compost in mine. And it swallowed up Le Mans camping kit for two.
I'll see your gardening & camping parephenalia in a 944 and I'll raise you a cement mixer

At the weekend I had to drop my Daughter off for a Hockey Match at school and was then going for a quick blat around Grafham Water so had to get her Hockey Goalie Kit in with my Classic (ie old) Mountain bike (20" frame):
Here is my car with just the bike:
The only issue is if you have is the forks can dig into your shoulder on left turns if you put it in the wrong way around....
