What If Ford Had Offered a 3 Door Hatch (or 2 door Sedan) " At Launch?

[Bobby]

First, it's hard to imagine the car looking better as a coupe/3 dr...which says a lot about the talent and creativity of styling at Ford these days, so I don't know I'd make that choice based on the typical better looking style of coupes. Also, with it's size, I think the utility of easier access to the available space is easier on a 4 door..so, although I would have checked into a 2/3 door, I suspect I would have gone with the utility of a 4 door.

I'm personally surprised that nobody has pointed out there's no such thing as a "2 door sedan". A 2 door car with a trunk is a coupe. A sedan has 4 doors and a trunk. Just a fun little observation...

That aside, I would have liked a 3 door hatch, but 5 works just as well for me.

Just came back from England and those are awesome. They have the 3 door diesel. I loved it.

I've always like coupes better than sedans. Somewhat for the look, but mainly for the extra shoulder room getting in and out of the car.

^This. I was (and still am) surprised that I have to roll around the b-pillar to get out of the Fiesta... and I'm only 5'8"! Maybe it's just because I'm used to my 3 door Focus, but it seems absurd that I need to grab the steering wheel and pull to haul myself out of the Fiesta. Also, when seated, my elbow hits the b-pillar

I'm 5'11" and suffer the same problem. It's not terrible, and I'm young so I can deal with it, but it is noticeable. The wife's Versa is not like that. I'd still take my car over hers any day of the week however.
