if you have a work bench or shelving on the far wall, plus standing/walking room, for any small or mid sized car or SUV you're only going to have about 3' each end of vehicle to walk around which is pretty cramped in the real world. Our house garage at 20' deep simply isn't big enough to even park a small car in, unless you're talking a Mini-cooper or such. 30 foot deep minimum if you can.

Oooh, good point! We can barely squeeze our F150 on one side of the garage, the other side has my workbench so there is about 3' less depth. Fortunately my wife's Mazda5 isn't that big.

Also think about kid stuff or wife stuff, assuming you have either. My new 3rd car garage currently has two Powerwheels, a go kart, and 3 bikes crammed into the front of it. My shelves have a lot of our lawn/garden stuff on them, because that's where the wife thinks they should go.
