Having driven around with the windows down and the sunroof fully open for the last week I can confirm that my Cee'd does not whistle.  I will take it back to the dealer, I bought the one with all the bells and whistles supposedly. :whistler:

It's because your top of the range model is not fitted with the cheap wind mirrors.

In Oz, whistlers are an add on accessory on our cars, to deter wildlife from impacting our vehicles, so that would be a feature over here.  :whistler: :mrgreen:

Spotted these in one of the pound shops in Englandshire, reminded me of the sock sellers in the Barrowland market in Glasgow "Twa fer a poond!"
