Hi! Have owned mine for about 2 months now and have only noticed a couple of little "LR" quirks. Since I traded in a Freelander, and our other car is a RR Supercharged, we're getting used to them!
The radio dial not tuning stations, instead running through the presets is a pain. I've experimented and can't find a way to change this setting. I did finally get the rear view mirrors to adjust to exactly the correct placement in reverse!
Sun glare on the center console/gear shift area can be sudden and blinding, if the sun is coming through the sun roof just right. Nearly blinded us on a trip back from NY, and I ended up throwing a small towel over it. Then I purchased the wood kit for the interior. And even tho the kit's wood is French polished, it seems to do the trick.
Also, if you let the car sit in the sun, with the sun hitting the dashboard, your "pod" (key, or whatever you want to call this) MAY not seat correctly the first time you insert it. I've had problems twice and both times I think it was related to how hot the dashboard around the insertion spot got, but we're not sure. Dealer isn't sure either. I just tried it again, and the second time I tried, it was fine.
With Bluetooth, you have to let the car tell you what the code is, which is the exact opposite of every other Bluetooth system out there. I'm trying out phones for the car, and am making the people at the phone stores bring the phones to the car to verify that they'll link correctly. Blackberrys aren't consistent, which means I'm switching to something else, just don't know what yet. Any suggestions?
I loaded mine up with driving lights, rear light guards, mud flaps (on their way), luggage rack (on its way), and the wood kit. I'm extremely pleased with this car. Highway, she's averaging 24 to a gallon. In city driving, she hasn't gone down below 18 yet, so I'm thinking we made the right choice.
