agree. this almost never works for me. on any car.

but for some reason if my dogs walk underneath, it goes off every time. go figure.

im glad im not the only one as it immediately jumped out at me as a con. Personally if its not 100% functional i would rather they not even offer it as everything else seems to work seamlessly and this just sticks out. Its not a huge deal to not use it, but still.

Even the gesture sun shade for the roof works great so they can do gestures. Every time i do it the shade opens or closes the first time.

Halfway surprised i didn't get any comments from the pics as i haven't peeled all the stickers off everything yet

I would have made the same conclusions. I like the GLS for my wife but not me. I can never get use to the column shifter

The G wagon is awesome but the Range Rover is both more comfortable and more subtle which to me is a good thing.

I have a land cruiser but honestly if had more disposable income I would not hesitate to buy a new range.

Looks good Tyler!

If you need me to drive it around for you just let me know!

Tyler’s been MIA for a very long time. Would be surprised if he pops in. You never know I guess

Thanks!

They're really nice cars, but I would recommend getting a CPO with the warranty. They can be pricey to service. Owning a couple i've had a lot of random things pop up and it was never a cheap bill. Went to dinner with a friend the other night in his 2015 HSE and it starting smoking all of a sudden getting back home, likely a water pump or something along those lines.
Comfort and ride is great, but there will be issues here and there. I wish they were as reliable as the Lexus's i've had.
