OTOH, pickups have the aerodynamics of a brick, so wind noise can be more of an issue at high speeds.

I am a fast typist (thanks to Miss Chestley at school!) and I use a computer keyboard, not a phone (my cell is a flip-up, seriously). So I can type opinions here quickly, LOL!
Sorry, meant 36 years ago, not 35.

A female college friend of mine told me recently, "You know what they say about guys who drive Corvettes" (LOL), but I have similar opinions on particular other owners which I'll keep to myself!

That Black Rose color reminds me of the new Caravan bought by an old neighbor back in the early 90s, it was a "black cherry" like that.

For instance, Republic Wireless will sell me a Motorola moto G four for $149. Or, I can consider a Straight Talk Samsung 3 for $99...or was it $129? They're blurring together a bit, but I love my Motorola Android phones, my moto e is working fine, I just need more storage space. The moto e won't take SD cards to expand storage, either. AFAIK Motorola doesn't have any kind of cloud program that I could hitch on to, either. So I'm kinda landlocked with it. But I just found it worth asking you about the flip-phoning thing. Wow, that was about 2006 for me, IIRC!
I'm way too frugal ta buy an i-phone 6 or a Samsung S7, too. Gotta be a Dave Ramsay bargain or nothing. Reason why buying a new Kia Soul would be really a splurge for me at $16,000. About what that 2016 Scion iA was I wanted round back about May of 2016. I'm thinking something like a new Nissan Versa S sedan with a 5-speed manual transmission for $12,100 plus T&L. As time moves along and I near the big 'R' I find it difficult ta want to part with $20,000 plus on a new automobile.

Regarding phones, there are now cheaper models from big names like Samsung that are actually older highline phones still being made - something like a Galaxy J7. These offer better performance than some of the odd brands, at a more reasonable price. There's a lot of phone leasing out there too. I think the only person who has found wealth via Dave Ramsey is Dave Ramsey
That said, 600 miles and we are still very much enjoying the car, particularly at the price. We think it's a great value and it even looks pretty nice with the aluminum wheels IMHO, although no one would call the car beautiful.
And yes, they do get clouded up with snow and stuff. I just run mine through the car wash.
Or, park where I don't have to back up.

The rear of the car tends to get really dirty, something about the flow of air behind the car.
I had never heard of it. One year I was visiting my brother and we were driving in the rain and he didn't bother to turn on his wipers for a bit. And the water was beading up and streaming up the windshield from the airflow! I asked him "Do you have something on your windshield to make it do that?".
Definitely a product that does what it says.
I've recently bought "Klasse" brand paint cleaner and glaze, to try on the fintail. The packaging says it is also for use on glass. I am going to try it and see if it performs like Rain-X.

I wonder if frequent waxing and detailing would have slowed or stopped the failing paint issue had by many GMs and other domestics in the late 80s/early 90s, and on turn of the century Hondas.

I also use Meguiars Quik Wax, which has a nice smell and makes the surface very slick. It doesn't last forever, but one can easily do a car in under 10 minutes.
It rains a lot here, and wipers that judder or make noise drive me insane, so I want smooth silent operation. My windshield is usually treated with something.

Funny that you found this on the BBC news site, and not the Detroit Free Press or something domestic.
