bazz780 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 rickvr6: i have just done that, and it feels great the power delivery is smoothly constant and endless in each gear - no limp like the turbo, only thing i miss is the nice interior of the mk4 with the chunky recaro seats, but the leather/climate compensates for that Link to post Share on other sites
wagvr6 0 Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 I never wanted a 5 door but it was available so thought i would give it a try !,and i now really likr the shape of them, Link to post Share on other sites
jezmoz 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 five doors are handy for taking your mates or family out, no messing about pulling back seats aslo a lot more roomy for humping the mrs alfresco Link to post Share on other sites
purple highline monster 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 i love my 5 door you can open all the windows and let the breeze in! 8o) well you can now the drivers rear has repaired its self!! shame its 2 more door shuts to polish though :@ Link to post Share on other sites
cookiesvw 0 Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 i think its a personal opinion, and i prefer 3 doors thats all ive owned and i am sure that day will come where i need five doors but at the mo 3 for me.and it rubs with people in the back so no one goes in there(being sorted now) good luck with finding a nice one mate.

antera309 3 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Remember also that the 3-door Mk3s get that rust problem at the bottom of the door seals. The 5-door doesn't suffer from this. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 But the 5 doors suffer from rust by the rear hinge straps, well mine did at least. Link to post Share on other sites
MSV83 0 Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 i used to have a 5 door also but felt that the 3 door is better and i believe they are lighter too. a bit of a hassle for the passengers but then who cares Link to post Share on other sites

I see more highlines than other VRs!Including mine,Your up early justin, probably blo**y cleaning your wheels/car ready for leeds. !lol Im not a fan of 5door cars at all inc golfs, but something about the highlines make them look that little bit better than ordinary 5 door golfs. probably the lack of wheel arch kit and full leather.
