I have a large two car garage and it holds our SUV, hubby's small convertible and our golf cart. The cart is parked behind the little car perpendicular to it. Wish we had a golf cart garage, but we are doing well without it. Hubby has work benches, we have shelving units and two storage lockers that hold plant foods, lawn care items, etc. also in the garage. Think about gardening tools you might need and have to store. Will there be enough room for them? Even if you have someone who cares for your lawn and shrubs, you might want to plant annuals in pots for your lanai and you'll have to have some storage room for tools and supplies.

I guess you'll just have to try and figure out how and what you want to do with your property and what you'll be driving around TV. Also, think about how long you'll want to be storing anything in your attic....as we get older, getting things up there becomes more annoying as well as difficult. You might need some storage space at ground level.

One additional thing to think about with a smaller garage is what if you decide to buy a different auto or want to buy two golf carts. There could be less space than you need for your "vehicles."
