Front doors not aligned
This has been bothering me since I realized it. When the doors are closed the front and rear door are not aligned. It is not very visible but I can feel when I touch my hand does catch the difference. Both sides are the same so I want to believe it is OK but when I check other cars the doors are perfectly aligned.
What do you think? How is your doors?

It is hard to describe.
I touch the rear door and start to move my hand forward. When I reach the front door it is a small jump/bump. It feels like the front door is not closed properly but it is fully closed. Like this but not this much. It is to see but easy to feel.

Take same type pic with door properly closed. Post here.
I wouldn't jump to ask dealer to adjust. You could be asking to create a new problem, like doors that are hard to close. Are you experiencing wind noise?

I will try to take a picture and post once I get home tonight. There is some wind noise over 70 mph. Can that small difference create wind noise?

What would you do if it had a problem. Refuse delivery or let dealer work on it?

Let dealer fix it. If there was another car on the lot identical then i would look at that. If its a custom order you dont have a lot of choices, luckily thats a fixable issue and not something that affects the drive. Bitch about it and get some free stuff out of it, tint...rubber mats...shirts...

I would let the dealer fix it for sure. If you mess with it, you are married to it. I would say that if you have a good dealer they will make it right. Bottom line, if you bring it in to the dealer and they do not fix it properly, do not accept the car until it is right. On another note, that is not a hard fix.

That door is definitely not aligned correctly. Is it difficult for you to close the door? If it was a $15K car i could learn to live with it but not in a $45K+ car... Just take it and have them take a look at it. (that's what i would do)

I noticed the same issue with my car the day I picked it up, and my detailer noticed it as well. Both sides are the same ... the front doors stick out about 1-2mm more than the back doors. It looks odd, but I almost suspect it is by design ... perhaps something to do with minimizing wind noise?
