Interior Measurement

[bloombergj]

Hi,
I'm looking at purchasing a 2005 Vibe. Can someone tell me the interior cargo area length and width when the seats are folded down? Thanks!

40 inches wide between wheel wells (Monsoon package may provide extra inch or two)
50 inches deep at floor, 40 inches deep at top, this is with the front seats all the way back, moving the front seats forward and putting front passenger seat down adds room
29 inches tall from floor to middle of hatch opening

I know you didn't ask but since I just looked this up today for another thread, here is the official volume:

1st Gen - seats up, 19.3 cubic feet, seats down, 54.1

2nd Gen - seats up, 20.1 cubic feet, seats down, 49.4

Some say the 2nd Gen is smaller than the 1st Gen but my '09 also has 29" from floor to middle of top opening, and a 40" width between the wheel wells.

Also want to mention that the front passenger seatback also folds forward to create almost 96" of overall length between the dash and the inside panels of the rear hatch. It won't hold 4'x8 sheets of paneling inside, of course, but the extra length is quite useful sometimes.
I recently carried three 96"x30" folding-leg 'banquet' tables inside my 2003, with the front seatback folded forward, but the hatch did not close entirely, so I used a cable to tie it closed for the 2-mile trip to the destination. I've carried a collapsed 16' aluminum ladder entirely inside, laying flat, with one end touching the dash, and the end at the bottom of the hatch panel.
