something i've always wondered...
 
why are hatchback's considered doors? like when some websites classify integra's as 3 door coupes. :dunno:

I'm had to climb into my hatch a few times so I would consider it a door...

Because the entire hatch lifts up, with the rear window? vs. a trunk lid.

I don't have an answer for you, but it makes sense to me.

I bet it's the product of some arcane bureaucratic decison made by the Dept of Transportation ages ago.

Probably something stupid like they couldn't use "2door" because some software would only recognize "2door" as a coupe and a hatchback is a good bit different. So they had to come up with something new.

good question, always pisses me off when i see that shit, don't make sense to me either, how the hell am i gonna enter through the hatch WTF, my car only has 2 doors and thats it. :oh:

you'll know why they call it a door when your door handles freeze, or you break the locks for some reason.

Nice educated guess :oh:

I bet it goes along with how many cc's it takes to require a motorcycle license....etc.

So that by calling it something with an odd number of doors, you know it's a hatch.
