For the most part, vehicles with two rows of seats have four doors, two for the front passengers and two for the rear. In the United States, however, there exists a very special VW Jetta with five seats but seemingly just two doors.
We stumbled across this image on Reddit in the appropriately named Shitty_Car_Mods subreddit. It was taken somewhere at a shop in the U.S., perhaps in Michigan, and shows a Jetta that’s had its B-pillar cut and the front and rear doors connected together. Odd doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Explaining this weird contraption isn’t easy. One possibility is that this Jetta is still very much a work in progress and the doors were joined together just for a bit of fun. What is particularly weird is how anyone could think it is a good idea to completely remove the B-pillar of a car like this, inevitably impacting its structural rigidity and putting occupants at risk should they ever be involved in an accident.
Driving around in a car with doors like this would also be extremely inconvenient. In fact, the front-seat passenger has to swing open the massive door almost fully to get in and out, making it a recipe for disaster in a cramped parking lot.
The weird design led one commentator to call these “homicide doors,” a name inspired by the suicide doors made famous by Rolls-Royce albeit for doors that are much less practical. And much more dangerous.
