Leaning over into the rear of a 3dr whilst trying to strap your baby in is no fun I can tell ya, especially like mentioned attempting to stop the extra long doors from wiping out passers by.
The majority of 3drs do look better but certain cars do pull 5drs of well....not mk1's or mk2's generally though.

I totally disagree.....

Never had an issue with any of my 3 door cars...

If I did have an issue I parked them away from any SUV or Chelsea tractor....

3 door coolness

5 door UGLYNESS....

Hi all

I'm part of the production team at Attaboy TV working on a brand new motoring programme for National Geographic. The programme pits two teams of mechanics against each other to take apart a car that is beyond repair, sell the parts and see who can make the most money.

As part of the new series we're featuring a MK 2 VW Golf GTI.

For the beginning of the episode we’re looking to film a 'pristine version' of a MK 2 Golf GTI. This will act as stock footage to set up the story for the rest of the programme.

As such we need a MK2 to film with that is in good condition (possibly having undergone a resto). We’re looking to film at a location in Surrey at some point over the next two days - date TBC.

If you have such a vehicle and want to have it featured on TV please email me: matt@attaboytv.com with your availability over the next two weeks. Preferably if you could send some pics of your car it would be appreciated. We would require you and your car for the one day and would cover travel expenses and provide a DVD of the finished programme after it has aired.

We look forward to hearing from you.

The Attaboy Team

You need to PAY me to come and do the show then....

I have a rather nice MK2 if not the best, it's one thats up there as in OEM+.... :tongue:

And I break unloved and unwanted Mk2's and have a wealth of knowledge as to what is and what isn't worth money - or as some traders on ebay call all parts - RARE!!!!   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

3 door looks better all day long.

But trying to get a resistant 2 year old into the back of a 3 door Golf in a tight parking space is no fun at all.

That's what parent and baby spaces are for.

Really? I thought it was for someone like this in a BMW.
