It will be tight. The doors are very long.

Is it much wider than an RS 5? If it helps my RS squeezes in, nightmare to get in and out though.

It's not about width per se, it's the long doors, you have to open them a long way to get out.

It's the width and doors which make it a pain to get in mine. I have to do a little hop to get in.

Not recommended for the larger gentleman.
