My old "F" reg. car had excellent visibility but sadly no matter how much TLC I gave it, it had to go last year. Replaced it with an 07 model.
The wipers have about ten settings, none of which is ever quite right. More seriously the panoramic windscreen has blind-spots on both sides that can literally hide a bus -- great if driving in a straight line on a motorway but very dangerous for town driving.
The only thing that keeps the numbers of accidents down is that all the roads are so clogged we all drive much slower now. There's only three or four local roads where I can drive at anywhere near 30mph (unless it's the middle of the night). Another thing this new car does is show my average speed, it's usually between 12 and 17 mph and only gets that high because I drive to work and back on a dual carriageway one day a week.
