The Mini, Honda Civic, Range Rover, Fiat Panda, Volkswagen Polo, Opel Corsa, Suzuki Swift, BMW 3 Series, Toyota Corolla, Land Rover Discovery, Renault 5, Vauxhall Viva, Audi A3, Ford Ka, and very recently, the Ford Fiesta.
The final model on this far-from-definitive list should be a strong clue to the answer. That being that, originally, all of these cars listed were initially introduced as two- or three-door models. Now, each of these in their current form are only available with at least four doors or more, supposedly to meet ‘modern tastes’.
Last week, Ford announced that after a 46-year production run (with the original Fiesta only being offered as a three-door hatch for the first 13-years of its career), it is finally stopping the production of its sportier-looking three-door models. A move intended to streamline the current range to make way for the introduction of the all-electric next-generation Fiesta.
