The fact the front windshield lets in too much UV is one of my biggest complaint with my 5dr hatchback. It has to be as good or better then the Sienna when you consider the huge expanse of dash that's exposed to the sun. Plus, the roof doesn't come forward enough to give the driver any decent protection from the sun, so the front windshield has to do all the work.

On a positive note, the telescoping visor do a great job at blocking out the sun when it's slanting in from the side window (for taller drivers)

It's too bad that Toyota wasn't able to provide any hard data for the front windshield UV's capabilities, cause I think it needs to be better. If Toyota ever decides to manufacture one for the Yaris, please let me know, cause I'll definitely want to replace my existing one.
