pipsqueak Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) Yes, random question, but it is actually dog related. Hubby and I are thinking about looking at a Mazda 6 Classic, but we need to be able to get a large crate in the boot (collapsed). Crate length is 120cm. anybody happen to own a Mazda 6 and can tell me the measurement across the lip of the boot? Thanks in advance.

RuralPug Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just googled...you will need to specify the year, as boot capacity has been reduced in more recent models. (not that I managed to find anything except litres of cargo space - how does your crate translate into litres LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipsqueak Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share Posted January 24, 2014 thanks. it is a 2009... we've been googling to, but haven,t found anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe change your title to say - 2009 Mazda 6 - in the second line. Might get peoples attention who have the car but wouldn't have otherwise bothered clicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Are there any listed local to you that you can go and check out with tape measure in hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Maybe see if any used car dealers near you have one on the lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've paid much attention to their opinion :-). Always very careful of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelpiecuddles Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 No different to bringing baby seats with you to make sure they fit in, if you are buying a car for a purpose it makes sense and the sales reps will understand that if they are hoping to make a sale!

j Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 I have a 2013 Mazda 6. I previously had a 2010 model. The boot in the newer model is considerably smaller than the previous model I had. At it's narrowest width (due to wheel arches) it is 1m wide. From the rear of the back seat to the back hatch, it 107cm. A friends daughter bought my previous car, so if you think it will be helpful, I can get her to measure it. I'm not sure what changes there may have been from 2009 to 2010. She bought her German Shepherd over before buying it, to make sure she would fit in. She did. She didn't bring a crate though, and I only have a small dog. I can tell you that it easily fits huge big sports kits, folding chairs and luggage for three people to go away for a weekend. If you don't have passengers on the back seat and will be folding the seat down, it will easily fit your crate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minimax Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Do you still need to know? I think I have someone I can ask, just need to check the year of their car (it's either 2008 or 2009, but I think they are the same dimensions). edit: 2010 boot size http://m.mynrma.com.au/motoring/reviews/mazda-6-sedan-2010-child-restraint-fitting-guide.htm I know it's not the 2009, but it's a guide (also a good idea of something to google, as it's a child restrain fitting guide) Load Space Boot length (Across the centre) 111 Boot width (Across the middle) 115 Boot height Under sun shade cover (5-door vehicles) 53 Boot lip height Under cover (if fitted) 21 Edited January 27, 2014 by minimax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
