Just why ?

Why do they build garages on houses, that cars don't fit in? It's so odd, is it for storage purpose and does the garage door add value if you lost your house ?

We wonder that quite often. I only know one person who keeps a car in their garage

Could be just that cars are wider.

They do it just for fun to make you pay to turn it into something more useful.

Right behind you…. Boo

Because most garages are built by men and they think it’s much bigger than it actually is.

Its so they can put it in the write up as a selling point

Here's what I suspect. If you have a certain plot of land you want as much as possible to be for the house because that helps the price. However, it's also a selling point to have a garage, but if they devote too much space to the garage, they reduce the value of the house. Therefore they build a garage but devote as little space to it as they can get away with, which in a lot of cases is a bit rubbish for putting a car in.

Just get the planning permission or it could become very costly

When it comes to new builds and carparks I absolutely agree.

But with the addition of things like crumple zones modern cars have gotten a lot chunkier over the past 20 years.

My VW Golf from the 90s was tiny compared to most modern hatchbacks.

If you look at family cars from the 60s and 70s, they look like match box cars compared modern cars.
