Why 2 doors car in Germany?

What is the reason for people to select / buy two doors full size cars in Germany (mostly) Are there any specific reasons? All I could think is that 1) Probably most of them are either a couple or living alone and no joint families so mostly back seats won't be used or 2) For child safety?

Germans through an Indian eye - A poem

Germans through an Indian eye   We shop at Lidl, Rewe or Aldi Drive Benz, BMW or Audi We strictly follow all the rules Be on time for all schedules We drop kids at Kindergarten Meet our friends at Biergarten We drink Helles, Weiss or Radler One out of 3 is a footballer We're ready for all weather Treat alien also like our brother We like being healthy and fit Run even when it's snow and grit Our dogs don't bark, kids don't cry Cars don't honk, even rain doesn't try Our almost everything is on wheel You can't imagine it's such a good feel We speak English fluently When we claim only a little bit We know to say no politely And where exactly is our limit We aren't shy to say, I don't know On the face, sarcasm is not our friend We'll tell you what you should know Whether stranger, colleague or friend Our breakfast is from bakery Public transport is luxury Flea market is not secondary Our work is our ...

Germany - Life on Wheels

The first picture that comes to my mind when I think about Germany is a Wheel. It's wheels, wheels and wheels everywhere and for everything. After birth you are taken out from the hospital in a pram and your journey on wheels starts right from birth. Everywhere, if you look around, in almost everything there are wheels and not just in the well known brands like Audi, Benz, BMW, Porsche and VWs but also in simple things like garbage boxes to shopping trolleys , from roller skates to mobility scooters. Not that other countries don’t have these but I guess the scale at which wheels are used here is probably unmatched. I guess, if not already created, soon Germany will come up with wheels for coffins too. I like wheels, in a way it symbolizes moving forward speedily with least friction.
