Definitely a lot fewer 4-doors out there. There is one I see on the way to work sometimes that's about 3 different colors. Other than that, don't remember the last time I saw a 4-door.

I like my four door, its only about 4 inches longer than a two door but all the room you can get counts. I don't like the style though. I think the 2-door looks better with the large back window rather than the 4-door with two normal windows and then a tiny triangle window in the back. 2-door is more aerodynamic, if you look closely the angle of the hatch isn't as steep on the 2-door as it is on the 4-door.

For mileage though, it won't really make a difference, not one big enough to notice at least. Just go with what you prefer. If you have a family, the four door will be a lot more convenient for loading kids in and out.

Haha, yep, my close friends actually do call me Johnny. I used to have a mullet too! I'm on your geometroforum.com as JohnDN. I believe I should have my mullet picture posted in the member's photos thread.
