Thanks... So basically with seats down, the 3' will fit upright and passing it through to the front would probably work... I do have DSG... I'll probably just go out there and measure
If I remember correctly, its about 9' from the back of the hatch to the center console. The 3' wide isn't a problem at all. If you're dsg and don't have to be reaching for the shifter you may be okay.
Edit: that 9' doesn't include the rake of the rear windshield. It'd be REALLY tight.
