IMO the 3-door versions of fwd-based "hot hatches" look WAY worse, awkward a.f. Being fwd and having semi-OK power, they *need* the rear wheels shoved way aft to keep load on the front drive wheels. So they tend to have longish wheelbases. In 3-door "coupe" form they just end up looking ridiculous with all that space between the doors and the rear wheels, even with elongated doors. To me, unless somebody's gonna make a new dedicated 2-seater 3-door CRX, any 2+2 fwd "hot hatch" may as well be a 5-door.
