Great car, but a few quirks
Overall, excellent value and very pleased with my GV80. It's almost at the level of some of the European vehicles that it competes with, and a few software updates can probably get it there. The biggest issue is the memory seat positions. My wife and I both drive the car. But even though we have our own key fobs, they are not and cannot be linked to our driver profiles. This means that the seating position and driver profile loaded when the car is started are those of the last driver. So, when I get in the car after my wife drives it, I turn it on and the seat starts squishing my against the steering wheel. I have to race to change the profile as quickly then press the "1" memory button. It's awkward, an obvious oversight, and a significant issue.
Separately, the climate controls sometimes seem a bit off. What is 69F in real life is not what the GV80 considers 69F, so the thermometer calibration is off by a couple of 1-3 degrees. Also, the Auto setting has three different fan speeds, which isn't intuitive. Auto should mean "use whatever fan speed is needed to maintain temp." Often, the A/C is blasting and unclear why. It's often feels far too cold for the 69F that I normally set. And, the fan speed and noise from the A/C seems seem to vary too much with what is going on in the engine, and the A/C is generally too loud.
