in actually starting to dislike to 8+ different makes..... the hell we need 8 different types of Cj's for??!.

- no rear wiper
- beeps when door is open and engine isn't off (is there any way I can change that?)
- sometimes doesn't detect my proximity key unless I take it out of my bag

Only one boot light on the right side for the sportback. Dark as

Sedans never have rear wipers.

How when putting the windows down then back up doesnt remove condensation, my old car removed it by doing so.

the rain just sits on the back window.... its rather annoying

Yeah we know that sedans don't have rear wipers but the back window on the sedan just doesn't get rid of any water. Wrong angle or something. It is rather a pain trying to look out the window when it's covered in water and crap.

Maybe try using RainX? I haven't tried it on the back but I used it on the windscreen of my previous car and it was great, water would just slide right off.

I'll look into that. It really is a problem sometimes.

Autoglym Aqua wax, I use that on the body and windows (except front windsreen) and all I have to do is accelerate and the back window is free of water.

This is a lengthy thread and I really should read all of it but here's a few things that bug me about my RA...
1. Every time I put my car in reverse it beeps like a reversing truck!!!
2. The little cup holder in the centre console isn't big enough for a cup and your coins get stuck under the flappy door thing
3. The glove box is only big enough to hold your Owners manual and not much else.
4. A few little squeeks and rattles

That's about it I think

Does anyone else find the A-pillar blind spot to be dangerous??

SXLancerMum · Postby **SXLancerMum** » Wed Aug 03, 2011 12:17 pm

No worse than most new cars. You've just got to move your head around a bit to see everything. I have more trouble with the C pillar in the Lancer.

We have a Craptiva as well. The B pillar is always in the way as is the A pillar on both sides. I don't know how many times I've yelled at my hubby to stop at intersections because he hasn't been able to see the car that he's just about to hit. And trying to see anything on the passenger side to change lanes is impossible sometimes. You've just got to hope that nobody is there.

Commodores are worse. The A pillar obscures a lot.

My little old Bubble is great. The pillars are all pretty skinny so they don't get in the way. Also probably means that they're not quite as safe as a nice big hefty one chocka with airbags
