Says the person with a 90TSI...

Come on Corey, you are the Mod and play the high ground don't stoop now..

True, it is cheaper but it's a case of "less is more" for me. I don't think it's inconvenient at all. It's just me that uses it. I might have 1 passenger every fortnight. I think it looks very balanced. Perhaps that's why they tend to use the 3dr for most of their marketing brochures as it shows how good the golf can look, but when people buy the 5 dr they will undoubtedly see something isn't right but justify it by touting the convenience angle

[Candyman]

I bought the 5 door GTI because it looked better

Same reason I went for the R in 5 doors

Only my opinion

3 door cars always remind of 5hitbox Daihatsu Charades

Whatever floats your boat.

The Golf in either format is hardly "sexy"

Exactly. The 3 door is always used on the brochures. Sometimes the Australia brochures are photochopped later on to add in 5 door models etc. It's been common to have a brochure with ONLY the 3 door models, when you can't even get them here! hehe.
There's a good reason that 3 door is THE hot hatch way. Look at the Scirocco, the Focus RS, the Renault Clio and Megane RS models, plus older Renault turbo models, Pug 205/206 GTI, 306 GTI.... the list goes on and on and on with 3 door only hot hatches. I think it's great that the Golf is available in 5 door versions for those who want to use it as a Camry, but hey - 3 door is where it's at - stop kidding yourselves

[SilvrFoxX]

mmm I thought the definition of hatch was the rear door not the number of doors.. and this combined with a performance engine.. how this then equates to a camry is beyond even my warped reasoning..

The answer I am sure lies in the colour

[Corey_R]

Yes, a hatch is defined by their rear door... but we're talking HOT hatch guys... you're slow on the up-take today

[TwisTz]

Can't see how an additional two doors stops a hot hatch from being a hot hatch. Does it make a big impact to performance? No.

I also drive a RenaultSport Clio 182 which is a 3 door and to be honest when I want to take more than 2 passengers it just isn't practical.

Sure the 3 door Golf may look 5-10% better but for the added convenience I say 5 door all the way.
