This car has actually grown on me in looks over the months and think this photo is all the proof needed as to why.

One of the very few models where the 5 door stands up well to the 3 door in lines and looks.

Still prefer the 3 door for those lines and looks but given the 5 door does hold its own lines so well with the added convenience for regular family use it was a choice made easy and still feel good about.

Intend to keep the GTD for many years as family car so can see my next choice being a 3 door GTI for more personal use  :smiley:

The GTI pulls off the 5 door look well but the 3 door will always have better lines

I like them both around the same, which is rare for a car to look as good in 5 door as 3. Due to the 5 door retaining an extra £700 on the GFVs over the 3 door, it is essentially a "free" option. Had all 3 door Golfs and Sciroccos in the past, it is so damn handy to have those extra 2 doors even without regular back seat passengers, like dropping your coat on the back seat etc.
