    How to convince my sister to buy an LR4 instead of a Honda Odyssey?

    Honda is a more practical kid hauler.

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    You're a little confused on your math. Zero miles travelled divided by any number of gallons burned is never a negative number. Say you idle at a traffic light for a year & burn 10,000 gallons of gas. 0 miles traveled divided by 10,000 gallons consumed is zero miles per gallon. I'm finding it...

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    1. it's physically impossible to get negative MPG. Think about it. 2. You're assuming no fuel penalty for the stop-start itself. if you stop-start for just a few seconds, and you frequently will, you actually consume more fuel due to the extra consumed to restart the engine vs idling. 3. The...

    Intelligent stop/start able to be disabled 2015/2016?

    here's the real truth about stop-start: it does very little to improve mileage in real-world driving and adds a layer of mechanical complexity and is frankly annoying. It does allow manufacturers to score better in the artificial drive test required for European fuel economy ratings. Basically...

    Liftmaster Garage Door Opener

    I have liftmasters and they won't program to homelink in the LR4 without those stupid repeaters. I just use the included remote because I'm lazy.

    Initial Impressions - 2015 LR4 HSE LUX

    I've driven without a front plate for 15+ years, probably 10 different cars, with no issues here in California. But yes, technically ticketable. A ticket I'd be willing to pay. Especially with my Tesla which relies heavily on aerodynamics and has front sensors in the nose cone. I've never had a...

    My first instructions prior to buying a vehicle: do not put a front plate on it. Enjoy the new car.

    Disabling 2014 ECO Switch

    Keep in mind that stop-start is used to game the European fuel economy test...it's been shown that it makes little to no actual real-world difference to fuel economy, it simply allows manufacturers to score higher MPG on the test and thus display on the window sticker. One of many examples of...

    New Discovery Sport

    Expect the LR5 to look like a 12/10ths version of this...they will share the same design language. IMO putting a 3rd row in a vehicle this small is comical. It reminds me of the 3rd row in the prev gen X5 but even worse in terms of zero leg room.
