Only joined the KL club a month ago, initially all the tech teally impressed me, now its shortfalls are starting to frustrate me cause it feels like a pricktease.
Now firstly let me say i do still like the KL and more importantly wife and kids are happy plus i still have old school to keep me happy.
But heres my list:
1. 9 speed tran. Great concept but it upshifts too readily and doesnt like to down shift so coming from a near stop i notice I'm often still in 3rd or 4th and it feels like its slipping/struggling till suddenly it drops back to first and takes off like a rocket. Then theres the lunar 9th gear...
2. Stop/Start. I dpnt want to remember to aqmjjsdisable that POS every time I drive. it needs a switch to enable/disable that remembers it after I turn the engine off.
3. Tailgate glass opening. Had it on our WJ and our KJs but its been deleted from the KLs - WTF best feature.
4. Adjust opening height of tailgate- our shopping centre carpark is wuite loiw and has those free spot sensors which rob a bit more space. if we open the tailgate it hits these and scratchs the paint. bit znnoying when trying to just load thed groceries AND you can't open the glass.
5. Just like the StopStart seems to be killing our battery, the temote start on the keyfob is flaky. I would love to have a button to open/close the windows on the keyfob (our old 2002 e46 beemer had it).
6. Better toing capacity. my XJ is lighter, smaller, less powerful engine snd much worse brakes but csn legallg tow more....
7. 8.4 screen operating system. its pretty average would be much better if it was android based. Eaiser to keep upto date and could be personalised much more.
8. Gauges. What the ...... no volt gauge, no oil pressure and the trip computer info is pretty basic.
9. Adjustable headrest. Stock non-adjusable is killing me. Don't want to drove it more till I fix it. Going to follow this suggestion
