Swap 3 door for 5?
« on: March 19, 2010, 10:20:43 am »
Would I be mental to try swap out my 3 door (fully loaded) 55 plate, MY06 red dsg GTI with 43k on the clock for a 5 door model?

Whilst I love the look of the 3 door over the five, I am getting a little frustrated getting the kids in and out of the back.

Wonder the likliehood of someone wishing to go the other way from 5 to 3...... probably not much chance eh? where would be the best place to post this? in the wanted section?

Probably anyone with a 5 has it for convienience over style and would be unlikely to want to change to a 3 door, unless I am thinking that they wanted an easy route to sunroof, highline, winter, lux, armrest, xenons, dsg, mfd2, cruise, cd multchanger, mfsw, milltek, pescaras.....jeesh not sure i could go back to having less toys.... :jumping:

I made sure I went only for a 5 door. Its much more pratical when you have a family.
I say go for it. The Golf is a car that looks nice as a 5 door as well as a 3 IMHO.

Ahhh, a long running argument discussion!

I actually think the 3-doors are better looking, but I don't care, I wanted a five door.

I don't have a family, but I was getting bored of not having 5-door flexibility and I don't actually have rear passengers all that often, but I couldn't be ar$ed with the nonsense of a 3-door.

The 3 does look better - end of!  But for some (including myself now) the 5dr is the only realistic option.

Hmmm...not sure I would "downgrade" to a manual box...  :signLOL:

DSG is the dogs danglies...

How many age old arguments can I wrap up in one thread.

3 vs 5, dsg vs manual.... :drinking:

I agree, the golf is one of the few cars that looks good in either 3 or 5 door. I went for the 5 door with the future in mind as we are starting a family now and it is far more practical. :wink:

Plus I just love the lines of my 5 door..... :love:

i have a 5 door and after owning 3 doors in the past its just so much easier with 5 doors and the Golf can pull the 5 door look off easy and still look good  :smiley:
