They're way better than the stock one's I had on my HONDA CIVIC EX before this so no complaints here. I actually love 'em so far. ONE MONTH OLD XB.

BOSCH MICROEDGE are the wiper blades that everyones thinks are great... I THINK THEY STINK! I'VE USED THEM and they're CRAP! So much for German engineering. :lol:

The front seem to work fine. The rear is USELESS but not cuz of the blade...

Honda has the worst windshield wipers of any car on the road... I had a Civic, and an Acura RSX... Both had terrible, terrible wipers... The front xB wipers are fine for me =\

Wipers are good for me too. But yes, the back is pretty much useless.

from my personal experience, PIAA makes the best wiper, I have used them in all my cars.

I don't mind the back wiper, it helps a little.
