Since you said the window was completed transparent whenyou got the car, I will have them replace the window. They tried some special car cleaner on it when I picked up the car but it didn't make a difference.

As far as the phone, since you say you get adequate volume, this might be something they can adjust. I often get involved on long conference calls while driving so this was important.

I LOVE this car. It is totally awesome. But, like you said, it is a car and minor problems like these need to be addressed. The dealers seem to be pretty reactive if you have a service complaint. I will speak with them tomorrow as I need to go on record about these items.

Driving this car is a total rush.

On the plastic window- seems all cars with plastic windows have this problem. I know they had a design restraint that forced them to go with plastic. I knew this would be an issue before I even got the car- so I didnt feel the need to report it to the dealer. If it ever gets terribly bad, you can have them swap it out for a new one because I notice its on a zipper. I think theres a website that has a cleaner for plastic windows- www.properautocare.com - they have other stuff also. Ive not ordered from them- yet :) Btw- mine was completely transparent when it was new- it has gotten slightly "foggy" from scratches, etc as Ive had the top up and down over the course of months. If yours came this way, you should get it replaced.

phone- I have the motorola star tac. With the top up Id say its adequate. Ive made several calls in the car and no ones said they couldnt hear me and I had no problem hearing the other party. I would like it a little louder but thats just how it is. So Ive not felt the need to report that either. There might be a service mode that the dealer can adjust the phone volume in.

I dont find any of this shocking. Yes its expensive, etc- but its still a car. If there was a problem with the engine, doors, transmission, etc, that would be shocking. I can understand being a little peturbed about the window, and the phone and my am/fm reception is too bad, but these things are merely afterthoughts on this car. Ill tell you something, I normally knock off several business calls when Im driving my daily driver. When in the Z8 the phone is the fartest thing from my mind.
