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.

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.
