IanW

hi ian

zhastaph

LOL, Ian, didn't quite spot that

Might be de beer, but ha you get the idea.


So why not a 2 door?

IanW

It is not a 3 door it is a 2 door.

If you read the specs on the Type R it is classed as a 2 door coupe.

zhastaph

But if you look on Autotrader just about all the Type R's are classed as 3 doors

T'was only an observation anyways ....

Autotrader is wrong, there's no such thing as a three door Impreza unless someone's DIYed one. Type R's are two door.

The convention behind this is actually very simple. Cars gain the extra "door" if they're hatchbacks (i.e. the rear windscreen is part of the bootlid/tailgate.

Impreza Coupés are two door, because the rear window is fixed and the bootlid is exactly that. The Impreza saloons are four door, again the rear window is fixed, while the wagons are five door because the rear window is part of the tailgate, and you can gain direct access to the passenger compartment through it.

if your car has a bootlid its not a door
if your car has a hatch with glass in it then its a door

they are the rules i have always used
