How many doors for you

[waynne]

Are you a 2,3,4 or 5 door sort of car owner?

I'd be happy with either a 3 or 5 door but I guess the 5 door is more practical if you have people in the back frequently and need to let them get out.

I never seem to fit enough stuff in the back of a saloon car, a hatch seems much bigger and more practical as well.

4/5 door prefer the size of a long hatch or saloon.
not sure about size my boots huge but just awkward to get anything big in. saying that i did manage to get a 5ft dining table in there

I need at least 4 doors as I have my son with me most of the time and it's quite difficult to get him in and out of a 3 door.

[HDi fun]

I can't be bothered with less than four.

Personally I like the look of a three door.
Question: When does a 4 door become a 5 door? Does a 4 door car have 4 doors and a boot & a 5ive door has 4 plus a hatchback? I can be so thick sometimes, sorry!

[HDi fun]

It's not that I don't like the look of two/three door cars. I just can't be bothered to get out so rear passengers can get in/out

[pgarner]

if you can get through the boot into the backseats then the boot is classed as a door.

for example if i delocked my drivers door and suffered a flat battery i couldnt pop my boot and climb through therefore its not classed as a door

[Loz]

That makes sense, cheers.

If I opened the 406 (saloon) boot I could fold the seats from within the boot cavity and gain access to the car but that was regarded as a 4 door car I think.

[speedy]

i prefer 3 door. because i dont have the use for a 5door car. saying that i do own a 5 door car.

for me defenetly 2 door coupe....

2/3 door as said awkward with passengers but makes no odds to me my car gets treated like a van i was looking around the other day and found an almera 3 door van conversion, namely "the one and only almera van" well thats the path I'm going down with my 5 door. Make way for "the one and only almera van with side loading doors".

[teaszer]

3 doors for me as it gives the car a sporty look. But I could do with a 5 door as its annoying when you constantly have people getting in and out the back of the car.

[indiaman]

4 doors for me

[Massive]

deffinately 2/3 door, no kids, no probs

[Bertrum]

5 door for me. Much more useful.

Large 4dr saloon is OK. The only thing I miss is the ability to jam big bits of furniture in the back, even if the seats do fold the boot aperture is simply too small.

[Poddy]

The number of doors doesn't bother me, as long as the car looks nice lol

[prevtec]

i love coupe 2 door, but latley im after the 4 door saloon
i need it with the kids

[lutonmatt]

am not really worryed as its only me in the car most of the time and i dont care about m passagers they should not be there lol

but i do like a 5dr over a 3dr when you have not got them back doors everything you want seems to be on the back seat and you have to keep moving the seat

and the boot as long as you can fit 2 sets of golf clubs in and 2 trolleys

I need to accommodate 2 trolleys full of food in the boot - my kids are like bloody locusts.

[lutonmatt]

i am keeping off that for as long as possable
being single helps that as well lol

[Lillady]

I have 3 door on the fez but suits me as i have no back seats lol!!
