Would you buy a 2 door car ?

Aditya · 14th July 2005, 14:06

I would love to own a two door coupe. In my opinion, a four door saloon is more versatile while a coupe reflects more passion and exclusivity. I would have loved it if the Conti came in a two door layout. As far as Zens go, Carbon and Steel look better than the standard
car. Cars that dominate my dreams are all two door coupes - XKR, 911, M Coupe, etc.

Does anybody have pics of the Zen coupe? I have never seen the Zen Carbon in all these years ...

Neo, if you have some pics please post them on the thread.

Surprise, Surprise.. Two door vehicles are very comfortable for the driver and the front passenger.. With large doors providing better ease of ingress and egress.. Whereas the rear-seat (if it is available) is not so comfy.. Getting into the back-seat is a pain..

Hmm, I doubt if the vehicles retain their sportiness and aerodynamics after tampering with the ground-clearance.. Basically you are increasing the Centre of Gravity of the vehicle..

Besides, what is a sports coupe worth if you lose the handling and the looks..

Yes! yes!! Yes!!! I love two door cars...but like someone said they aren't meant for the family. Getting in & out for rear seat passengers can be quite a pain.

Basically, we will buy the car. Periodd. Now all we need to do is get a few decision making blokes over at TATA and MUL to join andd be, uh, directed, to this thread... anyone got any bright ideas...?

iceman91 · 14th July 2005, 21:25
