I dont find any image reflection ,which only occur in certain lighting conditions, actually stops me seeing properly. You can concentrate through it .  Its a bit like having a head-up display as found on aircraft and  a few recent  luxury cars. With this you learn to either focus on the speed data etc projected onto  the windscreen, or on  the view beyond , or a bit of both.  But of course the Jazz does not project any data  so its easier  to ignore it completely.(a missed opportunity there Honda  )

General bright reflected glare off  interior plastic is a separate problem and present to some extent in most cars . The mk 4 maybe  a bit worse than some. And bright reflections and glare  from distant objects happens in any car.  Thats why i always have polarized sunglasses in the car, summer and winter . I often dont need to wear them . I may take them off if the sun goes behind a cloud, but can usually leave them on  for temporary shade , or a well lit tunnel.   Your eyes can take a few seconds to adjust to a sudden major change in light intensity anyway even without wearing sunglasses.

I've got a pair of clip-on, flip-up polarised specs. The challenge is to remember to put them on before I start driving as clipping them to my varifocals can't be done on the move.

now you guys have me wanting to buy polarized sunglasses    I used to need glasses in the car since I was about 25 (nearsighted).  So then I could not wear regular sunglasses. But as I am getting older now I do not need glasses for distant objects (nearsighted). My eyes somehow removed this problem. My father had the same thing. But now I am farsighted and need glasses for reading.

So after this discussion I looked for some fancy "pilot sunglasses" my brother gave me in the 90-ties (since he did not like them) but they are not polarizing. I might buy some polarized sunglasses soon.

I keep a pair of polarised clip-ons in the car and use them almost all the time. Maybe that's why I haven't been bothered by screen reflections. Even when the sun isn't particularly bright, there's a lot of glare off the road and they reduce eyestrain significantly. With a bit of practice, they can even be put on and removed one-handed!

….and with clip-on flip-ups you can simply flip them up when entering a dark area. There’s no need to take them off, in or out of the car.

Make sure they are genuinely polarized. I once bought some flip ups that claimed to be polarised but were not.     Its amazing the difference polarized lenses can make in other situations. Looking in a lake  ,river etc you see the fish so much better

yeah I am looking at established brands like Serengeti, Revo with real glass polarized lenses. Not cheap  ... luckily the post is still on strike here in Belgium. About 1 month now, every year the same. Still waiting for a package that was sent to me on April-8th. So I am ordering nothing at the moment.
