In my previous engineering capacity I looked at hardcoated polycarb windshields. Nicer appearance, nicer optics, nicer scratch resistance.... but quite a bit costlier and still, relatively easily scratched vs glass. Wouldn't want them on my car. But on bikes, sleds, open cockpit stuff especially that where one often looks over the top of the windshield anyway, plastic is OK.

P.S. I corrected an earlier post of mine where I was wrong about the rear axle assy. The pic I'd seen was only one axle out of two, not the whole thing. Yes this car has W I D E tracks.
