Newbie GTD help

Rear LEDS are on any new car along with Leather.

Yes you can get them done after if you have an older second hand car without them.

Go for the xenons too, brilliant functionally and aesthetically finish the car off.

Yeah been weighing it up and I think the xenons is something I really want.
Just debating over 3 or 5 door 

The question you have to ask yourself is....do you generally have passengers, ie family/baby ect ect...

I have a 18mnth old girl and wudnt of ever considered the 3drs...

Also take into consideration this scenario...your out with friends, family ect and one of your back passengers wants to stop at the shops...in a 3dr you or your front passenger will constantly have to be getting out of the car just for back passengers to get out....so how long till your be saying to yourself or your passengers "I know I shud have got a 5dr"

I've only ever had one 3dr car and have said the above in the past...so even if I didn't have a family I think I still wud get a 5dr...there so much more practical and in my opinion I prefer the 5dr look....

Oh yeah just look at my sig, who says 5drs don't look great!!!

Also it's something you will never regret from a fuctionality where as you could regret getting a 3 door car and cars can be expensive mistakes. The reasons most people buy a gti/gtd/r is it is a sporty functional hatch. We have a new 3 door gtd in stock currently and if it was 5 doors we could of sold it multiple times. Like you said its not like the 5 door looks bad........

Unless you need 5, 3 every time!

I dont need 5 per say, but it can be handy!
I do prefer the look of 3 but its not like 5 looks bad!

Dont suppose anyone lives near me and I could check theirs out? 

Where are you?

Preston, Lancashire.

I currently have a 3 door astra, and it can be a pain when I have passengers getting in and out. But it looks so much better than the 5 doors and hence thats why I got it.

The golfs look good in 5 and 3 doors, I guess it comes down to personal preference. I am keen on the 3 but I do see the practicality of a 5.

Get what you want.  It does come down to personal preference at the end of the day.  IMHO I think the 3 door looks more sporty. I would have regretted getting the 5 door.  If it was just about practicality we would be driving the golf match...

For me it harps back to my MK1 GTi.  When I had small children I liked the feeling of safety you get with a 3 door and them snug in the back.  However I agree it causes problem for the mother-in-law to climb in the back.  Shame she can't come with us.

Good Luck!

If your ever in a tight car park space, you'll have wished you'd have gone for the 5 door.

It's not always possible to park in the empty spots furthest away from the entrance.

A Hatchback is a compromise anyway, if you want something sporty, buy something truely sporty which is probably a lot lot lower!

If the space was so tight that I couldn't get out of my 3 door, my biggest worry would be the t0sser parked next to me who'd probably just swing their door open, into my car, without a care in the world 

I find it very, very rare that I wouldn't be able to find a spot I'm happy with, away from or with at least a large gap from everyone else.

Its MPV's with kids or 4x4's that fail to look down.
