Owned a sleek and sporty (styled, anyway) '98 sedan, around the turn of the millennium. Just as with my parents' cars in the 80s and 90s, the windshield got splattered all the time. Had to clean it on road trips.

Owned a far less-sleek '01 minivan... from like 2015 on, not when it was new. Near-zero "ew" bug impacts, even on road trips. I'm not sure I ever cleaned the windshield at a gas pump, which used to be routine.
