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.

The newer beam blades seems among the best. They will form to your widshield much better than the others.Most manufacturer's make a type of them these days.
I've heard that silicone blades are really good too and for me it was a toss up.
I'm running Trico NeoForms (beam blade,) but not all the info is in yet. Only had 'em for a few months. I will say that when I first put them on that I did not know just how loud standard blades are. These things do not collect the wind like old style blades and because are so quiet. I did have a squeak from them a few weeks ago but a quick cleaning and they're OK again.
The downside is they are not refillable and they cost more. Also, I haven't seen any that are short enough to do the rear, backlight blade.

Nice find on the mod. I installed variable intermittant wipers in my '05 with a module built by a member of mazda3forums. He's the one I go to whenever I have random wiring questions. For those of you with pre-06's who are interested in variable intermittant wipers PM billm on that forum.
As for what wipers I recommend, go with the Bosch Icons and you won't be disappointed.
