I am trying to find a used car which can fit into my narrow garage.
Unfortunately the garage doesn't open out and at its max width it is
195cm.

I am looking for a 5 door car, that when seated in the back it is
comfortable for 2 adults (as well as a bit of luggage).

I was looking at a Toyota Yaris Verso, or the Audi A2. I know I am
going to have to fold in the wing mirrors but would like to find
something that is going to allow me to open the doors (if only a bit)
to exit. In worse case I need to be able to climb out the back easily.

So in short, I need a used car with a decent engine (1.4lt min) that
can seat 4 adults without being cramped that will fit in a garage
195cm wide that is available in the UK. Any suggestions?

Try using this and let me know if it works for you as an answer. The
site WHATCAR.COM allows you to compare three different cars at a time.
Using this link simply enter your preferences of the types of cars you
like (make, model and edition) and make sure there is a check box in
the portion that says "performance & measurements". The comparision
tool will do the rest by providing you with a report that outlines the
dimensions (in milimeters). A cursory glance that a Toyota Versa, for
example, is well under the 195cm maximim alloted wideth limit you
specified.

No, you try it and tell me what you think of it as an answer.

Sorry about the typing errors. I got in a hurry there. The last bit
should have said:

A cursory glance shows that a Toyota Versa, for example, is well under
the 195cm maximum allotted width limit you specified.

Now, you try it and tell me what you think of it as an answer.

If the max width of your garage is 195cm...how many cm should be
subtracted so that you can open your doors and get in/out of the
car?....

I would assume you need at least 2 feet (60cm) to squeeze out of a car
door so are you actually looking for a 135cm wide car?

Honda Jazz seems to fit the bill and has great reviews.
