Anyone Park outside Overnight with defrost problems?

So I don't have a garage and i park outside. there's usually the morning dew on my car and I have to defrost.

I find that the rear defroster is extremely weak. my old car (2010 evo) would defrost in a few min (less than 5). while this one almost never clears the rear glass (it ends up clearing by the water on the roof running off to clear). Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this.

My GF's 2013 Accord is slow too compared to her old car. Did the whole industry change to some weak defroster cause some idiot sued after being burned?

This can't be normal. You should complain to Lexus. I wonder if this was this way from 2IS.

Sounds similar to my observation of weak heated seats.

Plan to stay tunned.
