- I never expected windows w/ no frame to completely seal either, until i
- drove in a BMW 3 series coupe (318is). They have a neat little feature:
- When opening the door, the power-window automatically goes down about
- 3/4 of an inch, and after shutting the door again it goes back up and
- tightly seals... Its almost not noticeable and is very effective...
-
- My worst car award goes to the Olds Achiva. Reasons: Exteriour styling
- (looks like bad modern art); interiour styling (how can someone sane
- design this kinda stuff?); and, of course the crash test results come to
- mind...
