Styling Question

[Tricky160]

It is actually out of control now - Tourer owners - Cargo net up or down? I have started to rotate mine on a weekly basis!

On the visibility issue this is the least-visible car out of all that I've driven, but since I've only driven Honda Civics, Nissan Micras & Almeras, a Volkswagen Polo, Ford Fiesta, Vauxhall Astra (yeah, you get the idea) They are all hatch backs and actually have reasonably good rear visibility.

Thats why I'm investing in some parking sensors to aid reversing, especially in the dark or when the windows are still misted over first thing in the morning.

If I were to compare it to other saloons or even propper sports cars then I would probably say the rear visibility is very good. Heck - have you ever tried seeing whats behind you in a, say, a van with blanked-out rear windows? Now thats tricky....

I'm sure that ther are far safer cars than ours, but we choose them because of how they look.

The ocd has kicked in again - how difficult is it to get all 5 headrests to line up! and as for getting the passenger seat at exactly the same angle as mine....

Howsabout a metre rule and a spirit level? (Or just a good lie down?)

Thanks, at least I'm not the only one, Just when you think you have it, you see someone else and change your mind!

Man, this OCD is catching...

Feeling the need to go out side and line everything up.

I already have to have the seat belts hanging correctly. And I cannot absolutely, under no circumstances have no clutter or stuff on display in my car at any time. Everything has to go either in the boot (for most items). I cant even have rubish in the door bins. If there is, I have to empty it at the first oportunity - even then, if it will fit into the ash-trays then I squash it into them....

... Is it time for my medication yet?

You can get those?!


Luckily for me as I don't smoke then pulling the ash-trays out and emptying them is sufficient. I do however need a new hoover for the car as the one I'm currently using isn't powerful enough for my liking...
