V6 255 Boot?

[C2WAK]

All,

Ive just landed a new job which provides a car allowance, now i dont currently have a car and have always wanted a 255 V6. However I would like to know how big the boot is (or in this case under bonet)?

Any advice on how much you can fit in there is appreciated, also what are they like on long journeys?

A kipper and a baby.

tiny! its smaller than my exige and my old VX..

 

[mace¬]

Room is ok for an overnight bag but a few things to remember:
1) its not watertight.
2) It gets rather warm
3) There is a 20Kg weight limit I think (someone else will probably correct me)
4) I've had my football kit in there for over a week and the car doesn't smell inside!!

About enough space for a rucksack!!

My old MK1 V6 had a weight limit on storage in the plastic tray which i think was around 20kg (correct me if im wrong)

 

[Iridium]

Weight limit is 30kg for the front luggage tray under the bonnet. And it gets wet if it rains.

The boot in the back is awesomely comedy -

Best luggage space is behind the seats - little parcel shelf about, ooo maybe a foot wide, with a luggage net Can get quite a bit behind there!

As a work tool it makes little sense heh 22mpg, mental Co2 (267) . But who buys a Vee with sense in mind

What's in the box in the LHS of the boot?

 

[Ollie82.]

My guess is its the battery

 

[Liam]

tool kit. Battery is up front of car under front boot base.. Big battery too.

I just put my shopping in the passenger side footwell lol.

The section behind the seats isn't too bad, I usually put my jacket & gym bag on it.

Loads of room, it even makes for a four seater:

That's good. I didn't realise there was any space in the back!

Could fit quite a few shoes in there.

You've just got to think out of the box ... literally

I've had several late night blasts up to IKEA Croydon to get stuff for the missus. Takes a bit of planning ahead to make sure the dimensions work, but between the front seat, the front boot, and the shelf behind the seats, you'd be amazed what I cram in!

In normal service, my car is full up with my exploring stuff. Rear boot holds trainers, rucksack with numerous torches, gloves, P3 rated mask, first aid box, coat, plus the obligatory electric pump in case of punctures. Front boot holds clothes, hard hat, hi-vis. Knack to the front is to use one of the good old IKEA blue bags as a liner.

HOW?

Do you mean the warm Heineken?

If so the radiator gets the tray warm when the car gets hot. I use it to keep my towel warm when I take the car to football in the winter.

 

[Revels]

What will you need to have with you that you need more room for?

Dont be such a girl and just get one!
