Snoopy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 According to this: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/road_tests/index.htm?id=31Width of Lupo = 1,803mm Width of Beetle = 1,836mmSo that's only 3.3cm difference. If you can get one in I'd say you could get the other in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 I know some new build houses at the moment are coming with some piss poor excuses for garages, but yes, the Lupo will fit I'd think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snoopy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 When I was looking at houses during my recent move I checked out a few with garages and the VX would fit reasonably comfortably in all of them (width 1884mm).Decided against a garage though, much as I'd love one (as would the VX!), you got so much less house for the money.

Snoopy Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 No no no, it's traditional to have a Lupo before the VX, going straight there from the Beetle would just throw everything out of kilter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

montythemole Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 My parents neighbours have a new build and have to fold the wing mirrors in on their Corsa C to fit through the door and then have to do gymnastics to get out the car. Stupid new house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
