What derivatives of the LX would make you buy another?
What do you want to see changed or added to the existing vehicles?
Post your comments and suggestions here so we can give DC
ONE place to look
(because we know you're watching!)
- better paint protection on front end and lower panels
- a Nav system that at least comes with my dealer's address on it and not his previous address and doesn't exist when you manually type it in
- a Nav system that is touchscreen rather than a joystick to spend 20 min "typing" in info
- a Nav system that only looks for places in your local area, not the store 2800 miles away that you have to scroll through to find local establishments
- auto down windows on the key remote like the VW's have on a Jetta nonetheless
- glove box light on $30k vehicles
- side air bags standard on $30k vehicles
- a cup holder that holds more than a med. drink
- a dealer that can remove water spots on a newly purchased vehicle (1 day old)
- OEM tires that don't squeal while taking a 10mph turn
- cruise control mounted on a stalk that turns with the steering wheel like Toyota's have for over 15 yrs, easier to use when driving.
- rear window open option for those longer loads that need to be brought home. Not the "2x4" misleading comment in the commercial, I mean whoever heard of a 6' long 2x4, they are 8' and longer and will NOT fit.
- a console that can hold cd in jewel cases like my Durango did (pssst, the car has a cd player)
- the rear cargo netting which attaches to these steel D-rings attached to
PLASTIC mounts which give way!!! Netting only holds securely empty shopping bags or the like
- pockets behind the front seats for rear seat passengers
- better care in finishing these vehicles, ie: side moulding trim, can see the adhesive tape below trim. the rear window spoiler, plastic tape protruding out top and bottom
- and ventilated (cooling) front seats, especially driver's.
for obvious reasons
And mind you, I've only had the magnum r/t for 5 weeks. My 01 Durango had no fit and finish issues.
I've had no experiences with the "5 star" dealership I've bought my car from as of yet, so no comments there. However, my dealer has a starbucks inside (with rep and free standard coffee which is just fine) and an Enterprise rentacar inside as well. Nice additions.
Also with less than 2k miles on it, no handling/rideability issues as of yet (and better not, that's why I dumped the Durango after 53k miles and a bad guide on cylinder 5 intake valve)
