Got to use my windshield wipers for the first time lol, MUCH improved over the S560 which I always had issues with. Smooth and quiet, they work great.
Another new trick to the magic vision wipers is if you hold down the washer button while stopped it will spray washer fluid on the glass and let it sit there for like 15 seconds for an “intensive” clean…

This is one of the best reviews I’ve ever seen. This car literally got to him
”it’s a mad world, unjustifiable”

What could possibly go wrong.
I have to stay far away from cars like this because it could trigger another mid-life crisis and push all my crazy buttons. Lol
I'm playing it safe with my RX330. Lol

That's why I rarely if ever use my built-in washers.....I either use the hand-held squeegee-blade and fluid in the gas stations, or clean and dry the windshield myself with a bucket, wet sponge and towel.

What do you think happens when the on-ramp ends and a car traveling 25-30 mph has to merge onto a highway where the traffic is moving at 65-70 mph?
Do suppose the kind of person that drives 25 all the way down an on-ramp is likely to accelerate quickly once they're in a lane of travel on the freeway? No. They're going to back up the on-ramp with people waiting to merge, and then they'll pull out onto the freeway going 30-40 mph slower than the cars coming up behind them, causing the first lane or two of traffic to have to grind to a halt as people work their way around the absolutely inexcusable intrusion.
There's nothing worse than a self-righteous slow driver.

I wanted and still probably want an IS500 but I bought my Civic because it was a financial no brainer. It’s ok. It’s not *****in. I am probably getting payed off in the next year, so I plan to bring my AE86 home and I have a friend who I met from CL and I am not a good wrench. So maybe a clean one owner Civic and an AE will be good for a while.

Folks I’ve pruned a few posts, this is not EV chat. Please drop that argument that has been well covered by the same people previously elsewhere

Thank you Dave.
Not an issue with these wipers, they spray the glass right ahead of the wiper whichever direction the wipers are swiping, so the wipers never touch the glass dry.
That's also a good move to keep the glass itself from getting abraded. Many systems, when you hit the wash-button, start the wipers moving before the windshield is actually covered in fluid...meaning that the wiper-blades can briefly wipe over dry grit and dirt on the glass, abrading it.
That's why I rarely if ever use my built-in washers.....I either use the hand-held squeegee-blade and fluid in the gas stations, or clean and dry the windshield myself with a bucket, wet sponge and towel.
