If you get a Golf and you have little ones, get a 5-door - It will make all the difference.
100% agree.
I have 2 young daughters (aged 1.5 and 3). I used to have a small Fiesta Zetec S (3 Dr) which we learned to get along with. It was a bit of a hassle getting the kids in and out the back seats etc, but I got used to it - and I liked the fact that they had no door handles or window switches etc to mess about with. So much so, that I almost went for a 3 door Golf! It wa sthe wife that persuaded me to get the 5 door. And Im glad.
The time to change cars came when we purchased a double pushchair - where one child seat is behind the other. It wouldnt fit in the boot unless I put it in on its side, diagonally, after removing some bits of the pushchair, and removing the boot shelf!! It was a complete B****!
This large 2 seater fits in the GTI perfectly now. Still have room for shopping as well!
Im also glad I went for the 5 door as well.
Personally, I like the sporty looks of most 3 door cars. However, I think the Golf is one of the very few cars that actually looks awesome as a 5 door as well as a 3.
Is it bad that I sometimes make the kids take their shoes off in the car, so that the back of the front seats dont get dirty when they throw a tantrum?
