5dr is more practical for living with long term, but 3 dr is more aesthetically pleasing.

5dr edges it for me :cool:

Had a 5 door mk4 and when it came to :cough: upgrading to a mk5 even thought the three door looks much better I couldn't loose that practicality.  Moved house and all sorts of crap in the mk4 and wouldn't have been able to do that with a 3dr.  Couldn't be assed with getting in and out to let passengers in / out either.  5dr for me......

I'v only ever had 3 doors and cart mates and gear (music related) around. And I mean lots of gear. the mk4 boot swallows quite alot!
