A passenger in my own GL....
This weekend was the first time I've ridden as a passenger in my own vehicle in 10 years +.
Anyway, being over 6' isn't much fun in the 2nd row behind the driver. After about 150 of 200 miles my left knee began hurting; the vibration from the Pirellis is more obvious, so much so I didn't want to fall asleep with my head on the headrest to wake up with a headache; the 2nd row TV's block much of the view on the highway ahead but I guess that's good if you have a row full of "back seat drivers" however now I understand why my kid switched from the 2nd row to the 3rd row as a permanent place for his child seat, "I can see more", he says; the seats don't recline far enough back (still hoping the 2020 GLS has proper 2nd row seating); the non Harmon's don't sound like "sh*t in the second row, I can barely hear them with the rear balance set to -4.
