I'm thinking of buying a Fiat 500, new one, not electric if that makes any difference. I may need to occasionally get a newspaper trolley in the boot. Is there enough room to fit a trolley which is 110cm high, 45cm wide and 45cm deep? It can be laid on its side if needs be, or if lowering the rear seats to get it in is an option that would also be OK. I could take one with me to a test drive but it would be useful to know in advance if it's going to fit or not.

Also, how long are the doors, and what's the maximum width from the car they open please?

Thanks in advance for any help.  This sort of stuff doesn't appear in the fancy online brochures!

    I don't think you will fit a newspaper trolley in there!  :D

    Sorry, couldn't resist......

    RIDC have really useful car measurements - especially about whether a wheelchair will fit, but useful for other things https://www.ridc.org.uk/features-reviews/out-and-about/car-search

    That's really useful, thanks very much. Should be able to get the trolley in with the seats down, and maybe even with them up.
