Are 2 doors really that uncommon? Of the 4 cars I've owned, 3 have been 2-door. My brother's car is 2-door as well. I bet there's a big split on this re if you normally drive by yourself or with 1 passenger, vs with more than 1 other passenger. Ie, people with families are more likely to not look at 2-doors.
- chrisseaton 5y agoOutside of sports cars and specialist off-road, looking at the current ranges from manufacturers, you can only find 3-door variants in the most extreme budget categories, and often not at all.
- aeyes 5y agoA lot of non budget cars from Europe have 3 door versions for their current model years: Golf, BMW 1 series, Audi A3, Mini Cooper I'm not sure if those are sold in the United States, I think you also aren't big fans of station wagons which are very common in Europe.
- chrisseaton 5y agoThose are what I mean by the most extreme budget categories of those manufacturers. Looking at their websites they don't even seem to advertise them? Maybe you have to special order them.
- Kye 5y agoWe have weird things that are like an interpolation between small trucks and big cars that fill the role of station wagons. Stuff like the Ford Edge. They're not quite SUVs, and they're not quite minivans. They're called crossovers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(automobile) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossover_(automobile)

- legitster 5y agoThe European and US car markets are really different. In addition to different safety requirements, there are dealership laws and many more import restrictions. The end result is that we have many, many fewer choices for make and model, and that affects the availability of low cost options.
- massysett 5y agoNowadays in the USA at least, it’s hard to even find a 2-door pickup truck. Forget about a 2-door car unless it’s a sports coupe. Even a tiny cheap car like a Honda Fit or Nissan Versa is 4 doors. And they eliminated mid-range coupes like the Accord Coupe or Camry Solara.
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoThe Fit (Europe: Jazz) too, has been eliminated in the North American market, at least. Sob.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoIn the US, I can't recall the last time I've seen a 2-door car outside of a smaller 2-door truck, and even those are uncommon.
- alphabettsy 5y agoThat seems impossible unless you rule out Mustangs, etc.
- the__alchemist 5y agoBMW 2-doors are popular.
