Following on from VEDHEADS poll concerning which engine variant of MK4's you drive, whats the ratio of members with 3/5 doors & even estates .[]

I wont include Boras as there's already a poll going on about Golf/Bora numbers & I dont want repeat whats already been done.[]

Oooooops - regarding the other topic and my humorous (!) reply [)].

If I'd read on a little bit before trying to be clever I would not have had to give myself another black eye [B)][B)][B)]

5 door for me - I think it suits the shape of the Golf better and for me it's more practical.

 

[SEPaul]

Practicality - that's the one for me as well [^]

Um, HELLO? 4 Door? This poll is Golfist!

I have no kids but I do have friends

 

[Deadlock]

Had a 5 door, looking for either this time around! I have no kids as yet! so not to fussed on 3 or 5 door.

 

[Franko180]

My 2 previous GTis were 5 door but the current is 3 door and I prefer it. Surely its similar to 1.8t Vs TDi arguements, it just depends on what your needs are? Not wanting to contradict I can't see how a 5 door could look more sporty than a 3 door (the 3 door having a smoother body shape IMO)

 

[Cat1.4]

5 for me. Prefer the look, and the convenience

Don't prefer prices of mods being bumped up though [}] (tints, trim, etc)

I totaly agree, you dont see a 5 door 911 do you (Yes they did make a couple or prototypes before any smart alec puts a pic up[B)])

I think the rear arch buldge on a 3dr looks so much more agressive than the 5dr, even though its the same, less clutter such as door handles to spoil the lines.

3DR just look so much smoother, although if I had kids I would have a 5dr, but I dont so thats another reason why 3dr's rule.[]

 

[floaty]

3 door for me![^] I haven't any choice![:O]

 

[vrooooom]

3 door for me too! You don't want anyone in the back!! they just add weight and slow you down!!!

 

[Golf03]

I always prefer a 5 door car as I worry if i'm in a crash and I have passengers in the back, how will they get out.

 

[Cluke]

I'm a 3 door kinda guy. []

 

[vedhead]

No sagging doors for me! Best looking 5 door hatch going, i'd say!

[gerard]

5 doors rule!!!!!![]

plus we get extra toys[)] we get another 2 electric window to play with[]

 

[turbo paul]

i got a 3door because imo they look better. if i had kids i would definately have a 5dr.

 

[enigma1992]

5 doors all the way! With the hatch at the back, you've got a versatile car that goes like a rocket.

Also, I don't know how reliable front seats are on a 3 door - if you always let people into the back, does the back part need winding up all the time?
