Cirrus had good latches on the G1, then went to more complicated latches on G2. I ride often in a G6 and they are back to good latches. What's up with your doors that you don't like?

A good service center that knows what they're doing can adjust the doors so that they latch much better.

I agree, but someone who knows what they're doing can make a big difference.

There are some issues with the doors and door seals. The seals can develop a squeal in flight if the seals are old or aren't installed properly. When you first replace the seals, they take more force when closing the door until the seals are broken in. I wouldn't at all label it 'slam with all your might' but it is a firm close required to fully latch. After the new seals have been on for a period of time, perhaps several weeks, closing the doors gets a bit easier. The mechanism on the G3 / G5 (through 2015) all require this type of diligence on the seals and a firm close. Cirrus took the resounding client feedback to the engineers and in 2016 rolled out an entirely redesigned door mechanism. It's complex but a work of engineering artwork. With that design, there is NO slamming involved. You simply bring the door down into position and rotate the handle forward to engage the door closure mechanism. It's simple and VERY effective.
I'm in between birds right now (just sold my 2015 G5 SR22T). When I shop for the replacement, it's either going to be a 2016 G5 or a G6 as I definitely want the new door design on my next bird.

Perhaps it's a matter of perspective. When I bought my G5 in 2013 I thought the doors were marvels in comparison to my A36: TWO doors, relatively simple process to open and close (didn't require a certificated pilot and breath holding to operate) and didn't require rigging and rerigging to still be cantankerous.

I'll get them right, but I will state that I'm starting to like the airplane. Need another 20-30 hours before I can give a real pirep. I fought and fought that airplane. I thought that I had forgotten how to fly. I eventually figured out that I was trying to use the yoke like a joystick for pitch changes instead of a yoke. Too many videogames I guess. I saw a stick, tried to use it like one. All I knew was after the first few flights, my left arm would be absolutely killing me and the instructor would be barking at me to get my pitch under control. Once I figured that out (I literally sat in the plane on the ramp for about 10 minutes by myself, just smoothly working the yoke) things started coming together. I also find the plane to be extremely sensitive to pitch trim. I practically fly the thing w/ the trim hat. FWIW, I have no problems w/ the doors in my G6 (2019) model.
