The practicality is supurb. Exactly what VW is all about. That car is never gonna be a cargo carrier so why wouldn't the doors be configured to provide better access to the seats?

practical yep maybe, but for me it looks like its a foot longer with that big bit between the cargo doors , the side step is really long the windows are in wierd spots which makes what would be the fifteenth window position look awkward , just when something isnt broke why fix it. it doesnt do it for me

yep they open like barndoors , this is why some people me included thought a split kombi was called a barndoor kombi . a bd is actually an early bus from 49 to 54 i think they were out in 49 maybe 50

hey, i used to think that too. the barndoors got the huge engine lid. Well, if splits normally have the "barn" style side doors, isn't that much more practical than those pictured?

Yes, this is factory.
Brazilian factory that is.
these were a S.O. (special order) that were used mainlt as taxi's
this door arrangement makes the rear seat much more accessable.
corner windows make rearward visibility a whole lot better too.
