I don't want to be negative but - perhaps this is a minor irritant for some - when taking the car back yesterday the sun was shining fully on the front dash and reflecting quite badly up onto the inside of the windscreen - I never notice that much reflection from the other car I drive? It's enough to be obvious - I've attached a picture so you can see what I mean.I don't mean to run on and on about things but - these are real issues - and simple things like making the front dash too reflective in the sun could annoy some (as well as the tyre pressure warning flashing):Anyway take a look for yourself...
With respect, sounds like you would be better off with some other brand or model. Most of the members on here are happy with their cars or love them. I have owned 30 cars (including 3 x i30's) and driven many other work vehicles as well. I don't believe the i30's dash is any shinier or more reflective than other brands.Tyres noise is about mid range in the class and as Alan says faulty TPMS is not commonly reported on here.I think you are just getting negative vibes. Getting off on the wrong foot!
Get a dash mat and wear polaroid sunglasses.
Well, I've never noticed a reflective problem, with my i30 dash
Hmm, Seat, my mate has a 1.4TFSi and it drinks oil like it is going out of fashion (not to mention that the emissions are probably reported wrongly given the current state of the VW group).They all have their issues, it just depends which ones you want to live with.......
OK that's fine - you chaps are more experienced than me on the i30 - I posted the pic so you can see for yourselves.
I've got a dash mat on mine but really, the reflection is no better or no worse than most other brands.And I've had plenty.
There's a trick to solving the reflection problem which has helped me all my life......... Instead of looking AT the windscreen you look THROUGH it ( focus on the road ahead). It's amazing what you see (cars, trucks, pedestrians etc).

I find the same thing when it starts to rain. Don't focus on the rain drops on the screen, focus on the road ahead. The rain drops then become almost invisible.
Here's what it looks like on the F35:
