Ouch !

Its a no brainer then, and I'd be measuring carefully to see if the 10 will fit in.
The base still takes up a lot of room. In my magna, the base has to ride in the front seat as it wont fit in the boot

Another alternative is the Saxon/skywatcher type 8 inch f5 dob. I used to own one of these and at 1000mm focal length it should fit into any car.
