Hi all , this is my first post on the forum , and I have a slightly odd question to ask! Does anyone who owns a new or the last model of C Class know if you can fit them in a standard single lock up garage? I fancy a change and both the new and previous C Class have caught my eye , butI dont like leaving my cars outside so I have a council lock up , my current Mk5 Golf R32 fits , but just wondered if a C Class would be too big?

Yes, or maybe, no.

May be easier (and safer) for you to do a Google search on 'new mercedes c class dimensions' because in Images, it gives length, height and width.
L= 4986 W= 1810-2020 H=1442………..ish (in mm)

I wouldn't want to buy a car on what I believed a standard garage measured without measuring it. Based on your Golf though, the C is 40mm or 4cm longer, no wider and a bit lower so should fit okay.

new caris 4686 mm long according to what I read so is this a typo? Previous car 4591 mm long. The width is only 1cm difference compared to the R32 so that wont be a problem. There is a beautiful C250 Sport (2011) just came into my local dealer , White , Leather , Auto , AMG kit and wheels , and I am very tempted. However I would be interested in a brand new C Class AMG Line on the Agility PCP if it was affordable.

I get you……there are some good deals out there for the new one but the outgoing one has greater engine choice at the minute. Looks good in white btw.
i need to measure it tbh , its cast concrete constructed which means it has "ribs" in it and "hollows" , obv you need to line the door up with the hollow parts to open it , which is a problem on a 3 door Golf because of the length of the door. I reckon (without measuring) that I have approx 70 to 80 cm of length to play with before there is a garage door/rear bumper interaction! Width and Height seem no problem as the Golf has an easy 10cm between mirrors and narrowest part of the garage (the door frame)Paddcomp said:

My 2012 C350 Saloon fits reasonably easily into my garage which has a storage rack at the end, so length no problem. But, it is a fairly tight squeeze through the door frame with only a couple of cm or so to spare beyond both door mirrors. Another 'but' is that my garage is double so we (wife and I) put the car at a slight angle so it's easy to open the door (using the right hand side of the garage for this car). When using single garages in the past I've nailed a piece of carpet to the wall where the door opens to prevent any chance of damage to the edge.
The third 'but' is that I doubt there's any such thing as a 'standard size garage' - many of my neighbours complain about their garages being too small to get their car in. I think it's probably more of a case of too large a car for their levels of incompetence, but I've been told that an extra couple of inches makes all the difference!
