Evening all

Does anyone happen to know the length of the rear deck with the back seats folded down? I want to work out whether a bike fits in without taking the wheels off...

Have tried Google, but can't find anything that tells me internal dimensions.

Any help much appreciated

Thanks!

You, Sir, are a legend. Thank you! clap

Given that I'm thinking of buying one, you might as well tell me what model / spec it is too... I'm sure it doesn't count as "selling" if I'm asking!

It is a Y reg 325 manual.

It is used as our my Mum's work hack.

110k miles.

18 MV's, Titan Silver, climate etc etc.

I'll measure it in the morning for you.

5'9"

A bike will fit no problem.

Not sure I understand - sorry!

Do you mean you think it's smaller than 5'9" (or too small for a bike)? In which case, I'd be grateful for correct measurement.

Or do you think 5'9" is "tiny" for an estate car? In which case, you might be right, but it'll do the job I need from it so that's fine by me.

Nono I just meant generally.

I have one, the boot is pretty small! I would try your bike in the prospective purchase as you might get a shock

I've got one too - the boot is not very big even with the seats folded down. Having said that, I do get my bike in there no problem.... once I have taken the front wheel out!!
