I hated my TDX3 for 2 reasons. First was the electric legrest. Each legrest has it's own built on motor so you have to plug/unplug it every time you take the legrest off. They just looked and felt big.
Second was the electronics. I don't know if it's the motors, gears, or motherboard, but it was hard to drive it in a straight line. Like when you are going down a sidewalk and it starts to veer to the left, when you try to adjust using the joystick it clicks and jerks back. There was no smooth way to make slight adjustments in steering. My TDX5 is totally different. I ordered a single post legrest. It started out bad, keeping my feet to close together making my ankles turn in. But after they put a wider plate on the feet pad and spreading my feet apart, my legs and feet sit much nicer. And it's such a better ride, very quiet and smooth driving. It has tilt, recline, electric leglift, and seat riser. They were nice and canceled that annoying safety feature that keeps you from driving when it's tilted or reclined or raised up. My only complaint is it can not tilt/recline as flat with the seat raiser installed. My old Permobil could tilt/recline slightly more than flat. So If I was slightly slide out of my sitting position I could go flat and wiggle myself back up. Now I'm at something like 20 degrees from flat. Harder for someone to help slide my up also. I do wish it was faster, but midwheel chairs are not as safe at faster speeds. But I love the mobility, I can turn completely around inside my minivan. Plus I have a few sharp corners in my house.
