    No, no, the sunvisors are just fine. If they were normal car sized they'd block the view completely. As they are, they can be tucked up by the roof clips and dont provide a distraction.
    Having said that, they seem to have some book printed on them - it's far too small a font for me to read but I'm sure it's a good story :think:

    Things I like:
    * The smallness - feels like you're driving a go-kart!
    * Playing with the roof
    * The looks you get driving!
    * This community - not a copen thing, but you know what I mean
    * Easy enough to self service... apart from the oil filter


    Things I dislike:
    * The smallness - I'm 5'9" and have to do a dance to get in
    * Lack of space, both when the roof is down, and in the cabin itself
    * The BLINDING lights behind you at night from SUVs (which I'll be fixing with tint)
    * The stupid cost of replacement parts.
    * The washer stalk not wiping when squirting

    hopefully soon a new grey copen!
    that is not the copen fault - that is the SUVs fault for being 500ft in the air and then having lights that seem to have harnessed the power of the sun and be aiming it straight at your eyes....

    Cute

    Always puts a smile on my face, and others! surprisingly quick. Good on fuel, cruises at 75.
    Only thing I don't like is where the fuel/boot buttons are. Wish they were on remote or near seat.

    The Daihatsu is only letters stuck on the wind deflector and the rear window, it comes off really easily if you don't like it :D

    I know but why should I have to do that? I wasnt paid thousands to design the car (wish i was... as it would say copen! and it would be one of my fav parts of the car) :))

    I like keeping the car as orig as poss but yep it is coming off!

    Loving this thread :D

    Favourite parts of the car are the smiley happy front face & the electric roof.

    Least favourite parts are the perpetual fear of the turbo going & the car rusting away in front of my eyes!

    also love the fact you can use the window wash WITHOUT the wipers. Dry wipers scraping across the window smearing everything and tearing up the rubber edge before they reach that crucial first bit of spray is not a technical improvement in my eyes.

    Spot on there Mr Dunf! - It only needs a couple of dabs of the wiper to clear the water off.
    I also like the spindly feel of the stalks - in keeping with the very cute and retro nature of the Copen :)

    All us turbo owners may have slight worries about the turbo in the back of our mind, but are reassured that with good maintenance they are okay. The turbo is one of my favourite parts. You can't beat the joy of the boost kicking in & the surge of power. :D
