Generally we really like the car, got an ex demo model on extremely low mileage for a great price, works fine but the window angle is terrible. I drove home on a usual 4-hour journey shortly after buying it and it was my worst night journey for 36 years of driving. It made me feel really sick and soporific despite two service stops (I only usually have one) I still had problems. I think the lights coming towards me were angled at my eyes in a worse way that previous cars. Never had this problem before, so nervous about driving long distances at night again now.
More recently we've had really hot weather here and my husband has complained of awful reflections on the windscreen so bad that he nearly knocked someone over recently because he just couldn't see them due to the reflections - he's a really careful driver not had any accidents in 26 years of marriage. It's so bad we have considered painting the window sill matt or making a quilted cover to use on bright days and motorway driving in particular.
Only found one other site that gave a trite 'just ignore it comment'. I consider it too be too dangerous to do that I hate the daytime reflections too.
We've never had problems like this in previous cars - have had several different Vauxhalls but got fed up with the constant warning lights and them not knowing what the problem was half the time on the last one. Chose the Jazz because it was one of the few I could reach the pedals on safely with me being short 5'1", most cars seem to be built for tall men and getting taller!

Anyone get any solutions or had this problem?
