And this forum, more than any other I frequent, many times gets into three different subjects within one thread and that makes it hard to search stuff out. No one wants to search endless threads for the nugget their looking for. And therein lies the problem sometimes.

But yes, I noticed the back wiper thing too. It'll mean I have to pay close attention to the back windshield in the winter and keep it clear or else an automatically programmed feature could bust the wiper. That's why for the most part, I like functions to be optional, not automatic. And if they programmed a certain way, I like the option to change it to my preference. What I really miss is true intermittent wipers on the front. I can see this will be a little slice of hell all winter long.

Nah, I don't take it to heart b/c honestly, I know there are people out there who want to be an ass about anything. It takes all types to make the world go round and obviously, the world is spinning just fine.

As for the rear wiper, I hadn't thought about winter yet... we get Ice cold here and fortunately, this year I'll have the car in the garage at night but during the day, I'll be parking outside. Fortunately, with this car, the rear defroster is a toggle switch and not a timed one so I can just leave it on when I park the car and it'll fire up immediately when I restart. Before I turn on the front wipers, I'll be wiping off the windshield and it'll have time to melt the rear. I've always had to scrape the rear window on other cars so I'll probably do that as well but I'll have to make sure the rear wiper is free of Ice. The Sport's wing should provide a little bit of additional cover.

Don't remember saying jackass anywhere but...

It looks like you were not trying to be helpful but make yourself feel "forum superior" by [your term] "pouncing" first on the "search wagon" "" "" "" "" ""*. Kind of like people who post "1st post... whoohoo" on blog comments... I was the first to post search.. yeah... Anyone who has a clue about forum etiquette (if there is such a thing) would have looked at the things I mentioned above (post count, duration of time on the board) and would have possibly said something like "yeah... saw that before oh here" ...** but then again, I'm probably wrong b/c I would have thought anyone with a high post count would have known this... heck, I know this and only have 145 measly posts... My bad.
