Consumer Description
We love the car and would buy it again - BUT - it has one significant problem which is in-fact a safety problem. Anytime the sun is shining on the dashboard there is a major reflection on the windshield. See the attached photo which was made as we were pulling into the garage. It was 12:41 PM EDT on July 17th, about a half hour before solar noon. The car is pointed at approximately 85 degrees (almost due east) and the sun is about 90 degrees to our right. This is a extreme case of the reflection because the garage is darker than ambient. It is almost impossible to view where we are going. But the excessive reflection is always there when the sun is shining on the dash. It is my opinion that the car need some sort of anti reflective surface.
