You're off again BUT I think this time your change is a necessity. Don't you have 3 children? what a nightmare opening front door, moving seat getting kids in, moving seat again, not too mention the poor wee souls will feel like being shut in a cave. It is very dark in the back of the mk6.
The airbags are designed for passengers using the back seats be they children or adults and will be constructed for safety. I don't believe your children will lose their heads!!
And this rubbish people are spouting about the 3 door looking sportier it doesn't look any different to the 5 door just a bigger hunk of metal.
Go for the 5 door you will be loads happier as will your kiddies.
