Front windshield is slanted too much, it is impossible to wash window, and in sunny weather, reflection is bad. Because of the way it's slanted consumer can hardly see. When anything is on dashboard, windshield turns into a mirror, making it impossible to see. Consumer states that when it rains, the water beads on the windows.
