I had one, they seem to suffer less rust issues in the sills.

I have the same thing with disliking 5 doors and i dont no why 

^^ That car sways me to mk 3's so much

five doors aren't so bad... I always had 3 doors up until this golf and you don't really notice it looks wise...



far more useful though day-to-day to get stuff/other people in and out

sounds like you got yourself a good motor there

honest John`s mk3 golf review states  "Three-door models flex quite badly (five-door models are better)." No idea why
I always prefered 3dr golfs then had a couple of 5dr mk2s and a 5dr VR and found out they just made life that bit easier plus the doors dont sag over time like the larger sized 3dr can..

Mines a 5 door Mk2. Slightly worse looks, but loads more practicality. I would buy another.

I Think 3 doors look better in most cars but I still chose a 5 door for practicality.
