KE Laser Sedan Boot Capacity

geoffa1 · 03-09-2006, 11:31 AM

Hi guys (and Gals)

I usually talk on the Territory pages, but this one is for my Mum, who has just had her Laser run into and will have it written off.

I want to buy her another car, but she says she wants something with a similar size boot to her laser. I can't find the boot capacity of a KE Laser sedan anywhere on the net, to compare with possible candidates.

Can any one help - thanks

No idea on a number figure.. But in retrospect you could fit a 5'8" female in the fetal position in there.

Don't ask how I know.

Also remember with KE Lasers you can fold the back seats down and it's like a Ute with canopy back there!

I can pretty much guarantee that Mum won't be putting 5'8" females in the boot of any car (although I might) and I don't want to know how you know.

I found a figure of 400 litres for a KF. Can I get a sensible reply to the effect that a KE is about the same?

fill the car with a known amount of bean bag beebbbes and then empty it to get the volumme (just a bit of math )

measure ---- height x length x width you will get the volume Math A

doing it by filling the car with water just wont work

I think OH HELL NO might justify how wrong you are.. Maybe not even!

A KF boot is about double what a KE has. KF is a liftback, KE is a hatchback. Huge boot diff.

Not sure if that's a 'sensible reply' but i've owned two KE TX3's, one KC GL, one KC Ghia and my partner had a KH GL for a short period of time.. And i've put a shite load of stuff in all those cars!
