How Big is The Boot/Hatch?

[Tricky-Ricky]

Can anyone tell me what the boot dimensions are, i realise that the first part from the divider to the brace are not very big, but what is the available space to the rear of it? and also how deep is it from floor to the hatch, maybe a strange question but is there enough room to get a cat carrier in? the plastic flight case type? We have and used to breed Siamese cats, and should a trip to the vets be needed will the Carrier go in the hatch space or is it the passenger seat/wifes lap.

big enough for 2 golf bags

You might struggle with pet carriers, its ok if the objects are flatish and squishy, but if its boxy the lid wont shut, then your cats will be flatish and squishy.

Put the wife in the boot and cats on front seat

 

Seriously - very little room in back i'm affraid

ditch the carrier and put the cat in the cargo net ... you'll be able to fit a carrier's width and letgth in probably but the height is an issue as the boot is v shallow, although you could just remove the fasle floor and spare wheel?

The cat carriers out at home so can give it a test try in the morning if you want? Will let you know the result. I'm guessing most carriers are the same size, but feeling it's not gonna fit.

 

There's also a cubby hole behind the passenger seat. Sure they couldn't escape from there

I was going to suggest a carrier bag

[rtbiscuit]

cat box won't go in flat, you'll get it in behind the seats but it will be at an angle. i trnasport the cats in the box on the wifes lap.

My cat transporter/box wouldn't fit in behind the strut brace. It's not deep enough, unless you modify the transporter. But I wouldn't have the cat in my car anyway, use one of the other cars for that.

[MrLizard]

with the passenger seat fully back you can get a cat carrier in the footwell, tho that might be dependant on your misses being as short as mine

[Chris`I]

Another option is to remove the spare wheel. Bet you would get one in then, but I wouldnt like to put a pet in a fully covered or closed in boot personally.

Footwell or passenger seat.

 

Before I had an abused car I used to borrow my mums for vet duties!

[ersen.o]

I just take the spare wheels out when i need to transport something big

[Fien]

not sure the cats would appreciate sitting on that when ur pumping out some tunes!

 

did think about removing my spare wheel too to gain a bit of extra space. Plus you'd save quite a lot of weight!

[Tricky-Ricky]

Thanks guys seems the footwell would be the best option then, as my wife is short, is it me or are they always the bolshie loud ones
