iClimate UI issues, dangerously unpractical while driving in rain?

I wanted to share some feedback (and concerns) about the iClimate feature on the Terramar's infotainment system. I’m attaching two screenshots for context.


The other day it was pouring rain and my windshield fogged up almost instantly. I was driving on the highway and couldn't pull over. There is an excellent defog function available in iClimate… but it's positioned on the second page, and the tap area is tiny, really tiny. Swiping doesn’t work on these controls, and trying to switch pages while driving felt unsafe and distracting. I honestly feared I might cause an accident.

Can others try this and confirm if it's the same on their cars? Is this a UI bug or poor design?

Honestly, I’m starting to miss my old Formentor even though it was from 2021, the infotainment was more responsive, the seats were better, and overall it just felt more refined. I’m also dealing with another issue: my wipers started juddering loudly. The car has less than 4,000 km, and I was told I have to wait until after August 8 just to have them replaced under warranty.

And you know what’s worse? I tried to find aftermarket replacements from Bosch, and apparently there are no compatible sets available: the driver's blade is 640 mm and the passenger's is 510 mm but Bosch doesn’t seem to offer that combo because TERRAMAR is not on their record. The rear blade is even trickier: it measures 29 cm, but all I can find is a 32 cm version. Nothing fits properly.

At this point, I’m genuinely considering selling the car before the end of the year. I’m sad to say it, but unless I’m just unlucky, this Cupra has been a big letdown compared to my last.
