^This.
It's ironic (absurd actually) that legislation in the name of safety is actually making cars less safe as the driver's visibility is getting ever more restricted, so making them less safe.....
No it isn't. It's making a balanced call for survival cell vs visibility by lots and lots of people with a lot of data, engineering experience and years of experience.

The sun-roof is becoming a very rare item, and personally I'd take one over air-con any day
I've just spent the last few months looking at BMW 640s and almost all I went and saw had sun-roofs. So I now own a car that, for the first time in my 15 years of driving, has a sunroof! In fact I don't think we've ever had a sun-roof in the family! Have to say the cabin in the 640 is wonderfully light and airy thanks to it.Cars that still use analogue gauges... its the 21st century, I don't have analogue dials in my watch anymore. Feels like more manufacturers were trying digital gauges back in the day.
I drove a 2001 Yaris for a while with digi dash, took about 2 minutes to get used to it, got another car with analogue gauges and took months to readjust.
Also can't stand cars that think they need to automatically put the rear wiper on every time you select reverse just because it rained. Parking in a tight space the wiper goes nuts scraping across the dry glass!!!
