    'Small' Minivan for Small car park space

    Hello All!

    Wanted to get some input from all you wise sages out there...

    Basically my car park space is typically small and I'm looking to get a minivan-type vehicle to chauffeur the folks, kids etc around that will fit in this space. I currently have a VW Golf MK7 and it just about fits the space.

    Does anyone have any suggestions other than the Spacewagon or the Noah? Is there anything less long in this class of vehicles? I like the spacewagon and think it'll be good for the old folks and easy for them to get in/out of but it's a little long for the space (I have to go round a tight corner to park the car, so length is an issue).

    Would prefer not to have to fork out a couple of grand per month on renting a car park space if possible!

    Thanks in advance!

    To help anyone else who might want to chime in, these are the dimensions of a VW MK7 - I think.

    Length 4,255 mm (167.5 in)
    Width 1,799 mm (70.8 in)
    Height 1,452 mm (57.2 in)

    Ford Fusion.

    Very easy to get in and out of as they ride high... I think they are a Fiesta that looks like a mini-SUV.

    I had one as a co. car in the UK for a while, 1.4td... absolutely hated it, but I was 30ish and my private car at that point was a sri150 Vectra (which I thought was the nuts at the time!)

    Would love to have a little Ford Fusion now as 2nd car instead of our Polo.
