Opinions on 5 door?

[OLeary]

Just seen a nice 1.3 pre facelift for sale but it's a 5 door. Unsure on it, what are your opinions? Can they be made to look as good as a 3 door? And does the extra weight make much of a difference to handling & performance?

I've had a 3 door Boston, a 5 door lx and ended up with a 5door slx .. I reckon I prefer the 5 door for handiness for passengers and the driver door pins not dropping. Depends on what you like yourself really

The 5 door K11 is a more complete small car more accessible, functional, adaptable, saleable, user friendly useful than a 2 door at no extra cost. The 1300cc 5-door is more select as it is far less common and not easy to find all in good condition. I really appreciate mine without the sunroof & intend to run it for as many years as possible kissing the MOT testers donkey every year until beyond economic repair.

Go for it while you have the chance to get a good one.
