I'm actually surprised that they haven't (so far) been more critical, on account of the tradeoff in on road dynamics when compared with SUVs.
It seems that most journalists have cut Ineos some slack on teething issues.
Then again any car lover would be pleased to see the emergence of a new marque, particularly one with such a singular intent.

Daily Mail UK did, gave it 3.5 out of 5

An articulated arm might be the answer: so as to position the wiper blade vertically as it approaches the A pillar....(1970s Chevrolet)
DIY after market fix...solved!

If this proves to be a legitimate concern that Ineos themselves do not correct, the aftermarket will. Might take a bit of time, but some clever engineer will make it better.

Loving it how 4x4 Australia gave the IG 8.7/10.

The "King of the Road" in Australia, being the Toyota Landcruiser" its 300 Series GR Sport (Top of the Line) only got a 8.5/10
