Worst Designed Car for Driving in the Rain

My 2017 is the worst car I've ever owed for driving in the rain. I cant open the window even 2 inches without rain dripping down from roof and windshield. Why didn't they put a gutter in the roof? Just ridiculous.

Curious to know how many modern vehicles you see with rain gutters...try using the ventilation system, you will stay dry..

I've never driven a car where rain didn't come in the moment you open the windows... unless it had those aftermarket rainguards installed.

This is really interesting, OP, which cars have you driven in the past where you could have open windows in the rain fine?

Aerodynamics....

Drip rails began to vanish in the Mid 80s from cars.

Driving with your windows down when it's raining, even 2 inches, is liking spitting into the wind. You really felt compelled to start a thread to complain about it, lol?

I had an Austin Healy 3000 back in my college days, and the top was always down because I could not afford to have it replaced/ repaired...when it rained I would get really wet...simple solution was to put the car back under the carport. I learned then that an open car- be it the windows, or the roof, would permit water to enter, particularly when it rained...I guess that was the value of a college education...for the OP, please try to benefit from my learned lesson...rain with open windows equals wet driver...
