#28 of 36 Reconfigure head rests by cmhj2000 Jan 16, 2008 (7:52 am)
Overall I like the Rondo and might buy an 08 when they hit the lots.   However, I do not care for the configuration of the front seat head rests. Did take one from the rear and try it on the drivers seat, which was oK.

Replying to: ramblin (Apr 14, 2007 7:20 am) 1 Sounds like good idea. 2 Outlaw all dark tinting in everything. I'm tired of not being able to see idiot in other vehicle. Also make law so driver of car can see through any vehicle to there are no blind spots. 3 Good question. 4 Did not know that. 5 How often are you shifting? 6 Sun roof is a waste.Especially if you want privacy from State Troopers flying overhead. 7 Find some if you need them. 8 Just leave switch on and let key control, but then need adjustment to brighten displays during daytime. And more of mine. 9 Fix those headrests in front! 10 Larger diameter steering wheel with some padding and less road feel! 11 Gas milage sucks! Town Car gets way better on highway.

Replying to: telesave (Oct 16, 2007 6:12 am) Adding to previous post. 11 Some good arm rests. 12 A jack for MP3 or tape or whatever. 13 Camber and Caster adjustments so vehicle can be properly aligned. 14 (Maybe an issue with mine) Get rid of full time engine braking in Drive, which hurts gas milage. 15 (Maybe an issue with mine) Could be a diverter problem but in selected positions where there should be no air from dash vents I get it. Only way to stop is close vents. 16. Handling and ride sucks.

Replying to: e_net_rider (Jan 20, 2008 6:34 am) I didn't see anyone ask for this but I would like a button on the driver's door right next to the one to open the gas tank to pop open the rear hatch. Also make rear hatch with "pumps" strong enough to lift hatch on its own. Other than that I can't think of anything else that I would change. I love my Rondo and I have been having it since April and have 12500 miles with no reliability problems. Replies to this message: momgray2 (Feb 18, 2009 11:59 am)

Replying to: bgw (Nov 29, 2007 3:33 am) When I lived in Quebec I had studded tires on my 67 Plymouth Valiant. Now I live in Ontario (since 1979) where studded tires are not allowed. I think you can still use studded tires in Quebec and Northern Territories; just from Oct 15 to Apr 15.

Replying to: rondo700 (Oct 30, 2008 11:53 am) I totally agree that an inside button to "pop" the back hatch is really needed, and that the location of the rear cup holders on the console are too low for most people. I'd also like to see some more padding on the the (optional) third row; and better fabric on the seats that are more stain resistant. I'd also like to see another vent or two in the back - maybe on the ceiling blowing down? It seems too easy to block the vent on the center console, and nothing reaches the optional third row as it's now set up. And much better mpg ... we got 18 mpg city this winter, and on a recent highway trip got 25.5 mpg ...
#35 of 36 09 Rondo suggestion by 9394 Nov 16, 2009 (3:02 pm)
1. add cargo area light, or at least turn on the rear dome light when the hatch is opened.   2. make privacy glass standard or include the cargo area cover.   3. add programmable automatic arm (security alarm) after ignition off and all doors closed, and programmable door locking when shifter is in "D".   .

Replying to: 9394 (Nov 16, 2009 3:02 pm) 1. My wife's has switch that you can set accordingly. 2. Cargo cover yes. Ban all privacy glass because it is a safety hazard. 3. There is some programming available, but not sure what options are there. The first part is bad idea. Too many would lock keys inside, especially women leaving purse and keys inside. With manual locking, you might be forced to think about key before proceeding. If using remote from outside, not a problem. Maybe when external fingerprint keypad is available. Personally, I would like the option of the door relocking automatically upon entry (detects weight on seat). And not automatically unlocking when put in park. Trouble can come via opportunity.
