Does no-one know the difference between a hatchback and saloon? Personally I can't think of any Cars that look better or as good in 5 door guise.
Im going to be controversial here...but IMHO...apart from the VXR range (for obvious reasons although thats a completely different car)...the 5 door Astras SRIs with exterior pack look better than the 3 door versions...its something about the back end of the 3 door Ex-Pack cars I dont like...also the overall shape of the 5 door flows better...
No need to be contraversial thats what you think. Personally the Sport Hatches to me look great, the 5 doors just can't match them. The 5 door is a nice effort but if I was getting a new Astra it would have to be a Sport Hatch, none of the 5 doors would get a look in for me.
I think the 5 door being slightly longer and not looking as high at the rear get the vote for me...it makes them look more planted and have more road presence?

Go 
That is nice - I actually quite like my five door took me a while though - I reckon put a few subtle touches on mine then it could look good
