Got the correct tyre pressure in th winter ones. Went for the 2.2/2.0 from the doorframe!

Also found out that the climate control is rather aggressive in winter with a large jacket on. Set to 20 celsius, but became rather steamy in my opinion. Feels like the car is in a mad rush to get to 20, so it spews out 40 degree air

Water doesn't pool on fabric.

There's no metal in the basin of the rubber mats. Seat rails were mentioned, I believe-- water pooling in the basin of the rubber mats isn't getting to the seat rails except by evaporating and raising the humidity in the car. But it's hard to see how the same water, absorbed into a carpet, isn't also going to evaporate and raise the humidity in the car.
 
Had fun! Went up to my sister's farm, bit over 2.5km of twisting quiet country gravel road with another 2km gravel farm road off at right angles to that up to the sheds. Neighbour was backing his cattle truck (empty) into the yards opposite and was partway across the road. No need to slow down as I drifted into the driveway past the front of the truck with plenty of clearance. By the time I got to the house said neighbour had already rung through with the message "your brother is coming in hot!"

I love this thing.

Correct.

I've made it a habit of either driving with a window slightly open to aid moist hot air getting out of car, alternatively when arriving, leave the doors open bit longer than strictly necessary, again to let hot and moist air to escape the interior. Like that I have no major fogging issues despite drsgging in quite a lot of snow on footwear and sometimes clothes.

Having the aircon on will also help getting moisture out of the car.

As you wish. Intended purely as some friendly advice. Moisture sitting in the car equals damp. X
 
I managed to get 3 Adults + Me, flowers and cake in the car today all reached their destination in one piece. These cars are just so versatile.
 
Noted that GR's rear lights resemble of a corner - tight corner-combo (like kirraa in finnish) - or maybe it is just that people see corners everywhere...
