I need a 5 door as well due to the little man but I prefer the 5 door look in the leon and on quite a few cars of this size tbh. I think the polo and Ibiza sized cars work better as 3 door due to their size but the bigger models suits the 5 door imo. That seems to be the way customers appear to be going too if manufacturers are dropping 3 doors. Focus rs was one of the first hot hatches to be offered in 5 door only from memory and I'd have one of those in a heartbeat. I like the practicality of the 5 door but maintaining a bit of hooliganism when little man isn't about. That's why I'm hoping my next car will be cupra st 4 drive, s3 saloon, focus rs or something similar.I was considering a new Golf R as my next car but not after reading this. I differ from xyz as far as the number of doors is concerned. I need a 5 door car as my parents are now elderly.
I have no issues with those who prefer DSG but I personally would not buy one. I want a car with a manual gearbox and I definitely will not pay a premium for DSG. I realise this may well limit my choices but then again, it won't be for the first time.
