What difference does 0.5m make in the day to day living with a car? think 4.8m as opposed to 4.3m length.

Outside, none really. Inside, loads.

for a woman – loads

for a man – none

Depends whether or not your parking space is 4.7m long…

Depends on lots of factors not just size.

It's a lot. It's Focus hatch to Mondeo estate sort of size difference.

Inside a car, 0.5m = 100 bottles of wine with all the rest of your s***, and no probs doing 3 people, 3 bikes and a week of stuff. Or you have a huge amount of legroom in the back.

Outside it makes no difference unless you're trying to parallel park the c**ting thing, when it often makes the difference between fitting into a space and not getting an on-street space and giving three kidneys to NCP to park for 2 hours.
