No, I have no idea other than maybe they didn't get many people spec'ing it on 3 door and the door lock mechanism was specific to the 3 door.... guess that was probably it.

TBH, I didn't realise that 3 door performance Golf's were being sold anymore - thought they has discontinued them a while back ?

I got one of the last, made late November, has been sitting in a showroom for 6 months, would have had it back in April had Covid not struck and only just got delivery! Glad I scraped in there to get a 7.5 though, its a lovely car, preferred by me to the mk8 too.

I got mine in late 2016 and I think it was one of the first batch of 3 doors not to be offered with keyless so it's been a thing for quite a while.  I heard at the time it was due to a parts shortage and they were only being fitted to 5 doors but that can't have been the case if it was still the case with 2019 / 2020 cars.  I can't say that it has ever bothered me.
