How long is a Volkswagen GTI?

My friends and I are about to rent a house near our college for this coming semester. There’s a lot with parking spaces, but they look really small to me—I want to make sure my car will actually fit. How long is a Volkswagen GTI?

A
Volkswagen GTI
measures exactly 168 inches—or 14 feet—in length. Most standard parking spaces range from 16 to 20 feet long, but grab a tape measure and check the dimensions of each parking spot to get an idea of what you’re dealing with.
You may still be able to fit your car into a smaller-than-average parking space—the Volkswagen GTI isn’t particularly large as far as cars go—but you could run into trouble if any of your housemates drive a larger vehicle like an SUV or pickup truck.
If you’re dealing with tight parking on a daily basis, make sure you’ve got a
car insurance
policy that includes
collision coverage
—since this type of coverage can help you pay for repairs in the event that someone dings your car with their door or backs up into you.
