Does 'adaptations' mean that he reset it so it could learn again? I reset mine months ago from whatever YouTube video I found and it shifts a whole lot better. There are still some downshifts that may seem minorly harsh but it is night and day from what it was initially.

I read very few make 21 NRF tires. So if you switch, you may not have similar quality tires which could be worse than stock RF.

The backseat of the current GLE is fixed and does not recline. My wife doesn't like it for long trips when sitting in back with the kid.

The third row in the GLE comes with the electric adjustable second row (so people can get in and out of the 3rd row with ease) but the second row still doesn't recline further back than the fixed second row, at least when I compared the two, they felt like they were the same angle.

I personally HATE the steel GLE 450 suspension. Here in the land of 75 and 85 MPH speed limits (means everyone else is going at least 10 over) the car bottoms out on the freeway. I mean ON the bump stops at those speeds in certain areas. Although the road is "smooth", it can be undulating in places causing this to happen. Quite unnerving the first time it occurred. Luckily in this area these conditions are only in the straights vs. curves. Whats worse is I can not find an aftermarket suspension kit for this car. Wife loves the car for the most part. I would too if it where not for being under sprung and dampened IMO.
