Default Favorite 600 Feature

In 2k miles I have found my fav feature on the 600 is the updated Auto Height Control. The 570 had just L1 Normal and H1. If in H1 it would go to Normal once speed reached roughly 15mph.

The new 600 has L1 Normal H1 and H2. I use H1 almost full time and it stays in that operating position up to over 50mph.

My next fav feature would be wireless charging pad in armrest. Only item I miss is rear gate on 570. My wife drives a 19' 570 so it is cool going back and forth. Still really like her 570.

Default How about the most annoying things?

Most Annoying things about the LX600?

Can’t permanently turn off Auto Start/Stop (someone has to come up with a fix)
Stock tires ABSOLUTELY SUCK in snow (already changed out to Michelins LTX M/S - 285/45R22’s)
Hood vibrates above 80 mph - WTF? Add a support!
Wireless charger already had to be replaced (less than 2k miles)
Only 1 screen available at a time on the large LCD screen - Really?
Rear wiper really needs to be moved to top of rear window
Constant (annoying) shifting over mountain passes - Transmission reprogramming needed
Small gas tank resulting in only a 300 mile range (my truck has a 500 mile range - come on!)

I am willing to put up with all of these, but there is SO much room for improvement.

That auto start/stop feature will kill the starter very early, not to mention the amount of gas this feature can safe will be very very little. Best to disable it. And the small gas tank / total avg distance travel per tank is very annoying. 400+ miles will be ideal... The japanese lacks innovation these days,

Agree, I like so much about my LX600, but the vibrating hood and small fuel tank are annoying. I have come to terms with the hood vibration. Thankfully it doesnt make any noise and iI notice it less and less. But, the fuel tank and range are driving me batty. I am looking for a larger tank or aux tank as we speak. If it had a solid 400 mile range, I could stomach it (rather have 500 mile plus so when towing there is plenty of range). But I am averaging 290 mile total range. Insane.....

The heads-ups display and the factory navigation running Google Maps. The upgraded stereo is fantastic as well.

So, you guys want the 5.7 back or not? Genuinely curious. My range is terrible also, doesn't look like any of yours is anything significantly better. What kind of MPG do you guys average?
