Cars

[nineveh_uk]

I had decided that I wanted to buy a five (really four and a boot) door car, because they are much more civilised if you ever want to fit adults in the back, and there's more room to transport stuff. On the other hand, three (that is, two) doors are easier to get hold of, and cheaper. And I could buy one off a friend of my father's who's selling one. And do I actually need five doors anyway?

I suspect that I may be being irrationally biased against 3 doors simply because most of my experience is with five - because my instant response to your comment was "surely it is easier to open the back door than to move the seat forward", which is not actually true.

I would certainly argue the opposite, having only ever owned three-door cars! They are less good for passengers, but I rarely have more than one passenger.

I have had only one car with three doors- big mistake. It was hard to get bulky stuff out from the back seat, mind you it was not a hatchback. Of course you could get a roof rack to tie furniture on.

I think a roofrack might require enormously increased uper body strength...!
