Hi guys,
What's your opinions on 3 door vs 5 door Mk4 Golf' ?
I wouldn't have been bothered before I came here, but I love the look of 3 doors, but are they any better or worse?
Perhaps they are more robust?
Cheers

3 dr all the way unless you have kids and don't care about dropeed doors
-
There is no difference in the chassis, they are both as strong as each other
Now I've had a 5 door I wouldn't go back to a 3 door car. I got mine out of family necessity though

i have a disabled kid, just gone from a 5dr mk3 to a 3 dr mk4 :) lol no difference in it work tbh...

I love the look of the 3 door, but the convienince of the 5 door.
The 5 door worked in my favour last weekend as I managed to get a garden table, 8 garden chairs and two freezer boxes full of meat into the back of my car (along with clothes for the weekend etc...)

3dr FTW

:cool: :cool: :cool:
I've no kids so a 5 dr make no sense, if people want to get in the back there go through the passenger side :smiley:
-
I like my 5 door, do loads of carp fishing so need the easy access. easier with the babe and reduces the wear with people climbing all over the seats.
-
I wanted a 3 door, but I ended up with a 5 door.
To be honest I'm glad I got the 5 door as it's well convenient, I play guitar so carry bits and pieces round and it doesn't all fit in the boot. Plus I love my camping trips in the sun and again, access to the back seat is so cool.
-
3dr for looks 5dr for practicality
-
5 doors good for shagging in

See, that pictures makes all the sense to me :tongue:
But thanks everyone, I don't need a 5 door.. it will only be me in the car, but I bet I'll regret it when I have a load of friends to go on a long journey with.

5 doors good for shagging in
but to be honest, it's a mk4 golf, so the sex will be so bad it won't even be worth having.

You could always go for over the bonnet, or kneel her down in the boot with the shelf off and flippin' go for it like mad.

I have no kids (that i know about) but i wanted a 4dr to save people from climbing over the seats to get in and out.
4 dr is more convenient for drive bys and picking up prostitutes too :laugh:
also pic whore

just bend her in to some kinda shape that will fit nicely with the access to the relevant hole

I like your style. Open to exploration of where ever it fits, even if it takes a while to make it fit :grin:

Very useful this morning when i popped down to Ikea to pick up a 2 metre tall parasol :smiley:
-
personally prefer the 5 door golfs, 3 doors are a pain in the ass when picking up mates etc, shopping etc. wouldnt ever go back to a 3 door again.
-
5 door all day long. The way the doors drop on the 3 door cars is ridiculous.
Oh and seeing as we are posting pics:

-
The way the doors drop on the 3 door cars is ridiculous

block of wood and a trolley jack under the door is a temporary fix
long term fix are new hinges

The body is less rigid in a 5 door equivalent - Fact! :P
-
no difference jus personal preference an depends if you hae family ect
i vote 5 door all the way though ;)
-
alot of people prefer 3 door in looks but its true in every case that 5 door is more practicale.
-
The standard rear speakers in a 5 door have a better sound than the 3 door :nerd:
-
3 doors do look the best............... end of!!!! :grin:
-
5 door are easier! ... end of :huh: :grin:
-
if you all cared about practicality so much, coilovers and lowering kits would never have been invented and we would all be asking, shall i buy a diesel? :P, 3 door all the way!

3 doors look sportier but 5 doors look good on some hatchbacks ie the Golf and my MG ZR looked alright in a 5 door. And as someone else said much better for shagging in and if you ferry people about alot.
-
3dr Cars everytime!
I hate the way the pillar on a 5dr obscures your view
