Default Automatic windshield wipers

I was checking online just to see how automatic windshield wipers work. While i was looking i found out you can put them in your car!Here is the site.http://www.raintracker.com/buy_raintracker.htm . Ithink it's worth it, especially if you don't have variable intermittent wipers.

well whats cool is i have those rain sensing wipers.. they work soo well to be honest. everytime im in the rain. they just turn on. the best thing ever IMO. if you do alot of driving in alot of rainy/snowy conditions.. id reccommend it.

Be mindfull Jamie. I had left my wipers in auto last night and "bam", they came on with the frozen windshield. Lucky I did not tear the blades, this time. I have to remember to shut off the auto before I shut down at night.

That's cool thatthe 2.0's come with auto wipers in Cananda. I don't see why they dont come with them down here.I have an 05 2.3 and i dont even have variable intermittents. i hate when i have to put on the first speed wipe when its barely raining, butI can't see when i have it on intermittent. That's the only reason i want it. Also, it will be cool to have it. I'm just afraid about installing it. I might mess something up.

I find it remarkable that a reasonably priced car like a Mazda 3 can have this feature. I have an upscale SUV that has this as well, but you would expect this feature on this. Also, My vehicle does not have a telescoping steering wheel, and the 3 does. It just goes to show, the Mazda 3 punches a lot of content f0r a decent dollar.
