In my case, tinted windows are practical since they help to keep the interior heat down considerably on a hot day. The angle of the rear glass means it gets a very direct hit from the sun both driving and when parked. Imagine yourself trying to position a reflective sunscreen in the back (parking) on a blazing hot day, with fixed buckets and a cage. There is lots of sun where I live so an important consideration for me. I have also optioned the windscreen sun strip which I don't even think is an option in the UK is it?
Aesthetically, I am not super keen on them but nor am I particularly against them so the practical aspect swings it.
