What is the average car length in feet?

How long are most cars? I’m touring houses right now and I found one that I really like, but the garage seemed oddly small to me. I’m wondering if my car will even fit!

It’s great that you’re thinking about this stuff in advance! On average, most cars have a length of about 14.7 feet. However, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll need a little extra space in your garage for your car to sit comfortably.
Is
the house
 you’re considering from the early to mid-1900s? If so, it’s possible that the garage was built to house a much smaller car, such as the original Model T. Older cars were typically significantly smaller than modern vehicles, which means that older garages don’t always fit newer cars.
