Ironic because of course I just posted how reliable mine was. This was a front right ride sensor giving an "Adaptive Dynamics Fault", for those searching for this later. The car wouldnt go into Dynamic mode, but otherwise drove fine. I recommend a CPO.

Anyway, I figured i would give some feedback on another vehicle from the JLR family, for those who care.
It reminds me a bit of the XE I had as loaner a while ago, especially the center console, which is for some reason still dominated by that stupid dial shifter, just like in the XE. Its not even particularly good looking either, with 1" cheap black plastic all around it. it just doesnt look great. ill get a picture if anyone wants. Otherwise the interior is pretty nice. The dashboard is soft, im not sure what the material is. the steering wheel feels good. the window switches are in a ridiculous place, up high on the door, and i havent got used to it in the 2 times i drove it so far. It also feels like i sit too high in the cabin, its weird. it was not like that in the Atlas I had on vacation.

It feels sufficiently quick. Much quicker than the Atlas. The auto shutoff seems pretty eager to activate, but theres a button on the dash. the rear windows only go down about 75%. its much worse than ours, at least as far as my dog is concerned.

So yeah, if anyone wants to know anything, let me know.

considering its the pricepoint car of the JLR lineup, it will feel cheap.

The window switches are high up so you're not looking at your knees when rolling the windows down.

Aside from the center console and stack, the rest of the interior feels pretty nice, its just that part that really seems lame.

Also the buttons to change the drive modes operate strangely.

That is a good safety feature, cuz now you can roll down the window AND check your blind spot!
