My main problem is the way the front and rear screens fog up all the time
Doesn't matter what I do!
I guess there is a lot of vapours coming out of the new plastics maybe?
Also the Bluetooth is tempermental and drops paired phones a lot
May end up a warranty issue.

If you use anything other than a damp cloth to clean the dash usually the product used will evaporate and make the window dirty/foggy. If you've never used anything it may be the new plastic, they may have put a coating on it when it was in storage or the car was being built to protect it.

Give it a decent wipe over with a damp cloth and do the front window too. Then wipe up and leftover water streaks with a dry cloth and you should be right.

It will still happen, but less frequently.

Thanks Daveee
I'll try that mate -
I used Armorall once on the dash but the problem got worse,so I stopped.
Since then I haven't used any products at all on the dash.
On the rear I haven't used anything and the screen still fogs up something chronic!

I notice the rear window does fog up quite a bit...though I haven't actually washed the inside of my car yet so that could be why. God I can't wait to take it for a spin today, haven't had it all week :(

Don't know if you're aware there is a product you can use so no fog forms?

I've used it in the past, especially in the winter cause my old car used to fog up quite a lot.

Things I dislike about my car:
* Thin paint
* Indicator sounds too soft (can forget to turn it off)
* Huge A pillars (blocks your view)
* Inside plastic trim scratches easily
* No light inside glove box (easily fixed with Ikea light)
* Stock radio LCD screen is hard to see when there is light

:lol: thats cos its an ES which was designed as a company/family hack and not to be pushed around corners quick and spill the groceries :P shoulda bought a VRX :P


LOL....

Spend another 10k for stiffer springs, body kit, and slightly higher seat sides... nah :P

(i know it has more options then that, but 90% of it is useless for what i do)
