Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 13, 2008 2:15 pm) If you've ever lived in an area that had lots of intermittent rain and/or you drive a lot in rainy weather and traffic where one minute you're out on the road all-alone, and the next moment you're driving in a pack with lots of road spray, you might think otherwise about the rain sensing wipers. That said, the first car I got with them had them bundled in as part of a package, and I didn't really appreciate them until I started driving another car that didn't have them. With the rain sensing wipers, you set the mist level and forget them, without them, you are constantly fiddling with the wiper settings going from off, to various levels of intermittent, and then to full on. Annoying. Best regards, Shipo

I'll take it if they give it to me for nothing, sure, but I'm not checking it off on the option list. One more thing to screw up and I'll be wiping my windshield in Phoenix in the summertime. YRMV of course.

Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 13, 2008 6:09 pm) I agree; I have them on the X3 and Mazdaspeed and both systems work really well. My next favorite is the variable intermittent wipers on my Wrangler. Last place I'm sad to say, goes to my ti, which only has a fixed intermiitent interval.

Replying to: kdshapiro (Oct 13, 2008 7:02 pm) Wouldn't a rain-sensing windshield cost more to replace? |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Oct 14, 2008 7:35 am) I've never had a windshield replaced, that insurance didn't pay for, though..
