    Don't know if i'd get too many options on a 3dr, people will expect them to be cheaper come time to sell, and most 3drs would be base models etc (the idea of them is to keep the price down).

    Ultimately your choice though and people spend that much on mods anyway.

    All the CS shots looked to have a green tinge that I didnt like which was swaying me off the look.

    But I went and saw it in person, its just a real nice charcoal colour that looks dark at night.

    I disagree. My MKV GTI had every option except Metallic paint (oh, and the additional useless doors ). Also, BMW's, their 3 door models are higher spec too! It just depends on what you want.

    Of course, G-Rig is right. Sorry Coreying, the BMW example is not valid. BMW only does a 3 door version of its 1 Series with its moe expensive 6 cylinder engines. So, obviously, the specs in those vehicles is going to be higher than the 4 cylinder 5 door versions of the 1 Series.

    Further, the 3 door versions of the 1 Series are "coupes" rather than 3 door versions of the 5 door hatchback, like the Golf. The BMWs use entirely different body work from the B-pillar back. This alone would provide an explanation for the added cost.

    Anyway, every knows that the 3 doors are base models in hatchback world and G-Rig is correct, buyers expect them to be cheaper on the second hand market because they were cheaper from the dealer.

    That's rubbish. That is your opinion and G-Rig opinion, just like my comments were my opinion.

    To determine someone being "right", you'd need to provide a comprehensive study of purchase costs and resale costs of 3dr and 5dr GTI's, and determine the % of depreciation to establish whether there is a different trend between the 3dr and 5dr models. So far, I haven't seen anyone do that.

    So until someone does do that, we're all just talking opinions, and so there is no wrong or right

    I'm not sure why we need a depreciation table. The issue is pretty simple. G-Rig's suggestion was that he wouldn't throw too many options into a 3 door Golf because buyers (and, incidentally, VW) consider them to the base model. That's makes sense to me, unlike the head-scratching BMW example.

    There is no need to get worked up here. Everyone knows you prefer 3 doors Coreying, that's fine. No one is saying they are worse and no one is saying they can't be optioned up to suit your heart's desires.

    ^ There's two things you don't see often.

    1) A clean looking dark coloured car.
    2) Sunshine in Sydney.
