Wrong.

All 4 door cards are different. The front doors are longer on a 3dr than they are on a 5dr.

Front seats will fit, but as mentioned by Adam, they won't tilt forwards to allow access to the rear. This is fine if you don't carry rear seat passengers but I believe it is an MOT failure.

Rear seats will fit with no problems.

That what I thought, The rear seats are the only thing that would 100% fit/work.

Indeed. I should know, because I had 5dr seats in my car at one point but I found it wasn't very practical if you wanted to get into the back of the car to clean the windows/hoover it out lol
