I realized the problem with the door as well and was hoping it was the only car
So it’s at least three of us now. Man, I was so confused when tried to close them quietly.

I took it on a test ride and the door opened itself a little bit while driving.So it’s at least three of us now. Man, I was so confused when tried to close them quietly.
Scared the s#%t out of me xD
That sounds like a recall incoming, even if they manage to homologate the car.
Wait a second… It did open by itself or you had not closed it properly? Either way it’s a big no no, but I’m wondering how bad is it.
I "closed" the door but it didn't close properly which i didn't realize.
It only opened... I don't really know how to explain it in english, let's say until the "security lash"
So it would not open all the way up
"Just" like 5-10mm.
I think you'll find it is because the cabin is so well sealed (and has to be for a car that'll do 155 miles per hour). Mine has always been like this. There is a resultant pressure build up as you close the door so you need to pull it shut with a degree of intent. If you crack any window even just a little to relieve the pressure they shut easily.So it’s at least three of us now. Man, I was so confused when tried to close them quietly.
I am pretty sure that this is absolutely not the reason.
Never seen something like this in a Porsche or AMG.
It's just not fitted well.
Also this would mean, that it was the same with all four doors what it's not.
I generally agree with this, but I gained my experience with driver’s window open, so your theory doesn’t apply on it. I guess we’ll all find out how the doors behave and I hope it’s coming very soon!
The door issue is real,
I closed it gentle and it remained open.
The fast solution it's to throw it hard (But in a 37k € brand new it's quite depressive).
The buckets seats are dope though!

Was this the case for the last generation too? I own an MY2018 i30 SR and have never noticed any issues with the doors. I hope this isn't something else to worry about, lol.
More importantly... Have any potential owners driven the new FL DCT/Manual version with the N-Light seats?
If so, are you able to please provide some feedback on what the seats are like.

I didn't drive the car, but tried the seats, and side bolsters are very very supporters, especially in the back area.
But the alcantara is soft, so a long journey must be comfortable. But If you gained a bit of weight after the pandemic like me
you will feel slightly tight.Thank you so much for the information.I didn't drive the car, but tried the seats, and side bolsters are very very supporters, especially in the back area.

Unfortunately I was big prior to COVID... I get a chance to test drive the new Mk8 Golf GTI on the weekend, I can only assume the seats will be some what similar.
Never heard anyone mention this particular issue with the first generation - does seem a little concerning that multiple members have now reported it with the facelift.
Our 2 demonstration cars have no issues. Doors are closing normal
Might be a delay if they are installing alarms as they did with the original model
