Both the powered tail gate and the selector (which i have seen) are not good editions.

I like the nav interface - but hope the update improve some of its shortcomings! Mike

United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Stornoway Grey

Saw the powereed tailgate on the Evoque and most commented that it was a welcome option. Never used the split tailgate upper option and agree for others using the boot it is confusing.

Had a go in a FFRR without a stick change and it really didnt work for me, especially off road when trying to change gear with the paddles when they had moved around with steering wheel and you couldn't locate them without looking down.

Even road driving with my A4 I struggled with paddles at roundabouts etc when I needed a gear change -fiddly.

After going to the LRE I would agree that the paddles would be no good when the steering wheel is turned - noticed the RRS at the LRE didnt have the paddle option fitted - they know whats the best (safest?) option!!! Now - MY11 RRS Autobiography TDV6, Orkney gray, tints, steps, daylight running lamps and allllll the toys!!!

I always use the upper tail gate - possibly one of the most useful feature ever - especially when just dropping work case in.

If you cant use the split boot should you really be driving Shocked Rolling with laughter

As for paddles - i have them LRE eastnor has them...they are fiddly, cool but the gear stick is better Mike
