...I just realized that the tC has variable speed intermittent windshield wipers! how cool is that?

this may be standard on new cars, I don't know. I only know my old car didn't have this.

I love my tC.

yeah chris it finally started to rain here in michigan.. was sunny for like 5 weeks, i felt like i was living out in california! and yeah i love variable intermittent wipers! my last civic wasn't variable, very annoying.. scion did think of a lot of stuff.. I like how the wipers clean the ENTIRE windshield too.. and the sprayers spray the whole winshield.. only thing I wish was that they painted the sprayer nozzles, the color of the car.. i might have mine taken off and painted.. on a silver streak color a black nozzle looks funny..

Just had the first rain here in Los Angeles since I moved here. Wipers did their job well but I realized I need to be carful romping on the gas turning right on a red in the rain here. Love that sound of tires spinning on wet pavement.
Definitly helped me realize even my auto tC has some good low-end torque going on. Not as crazy as my last car, SE-R Spec V, but still enough to have some fun in the puddles. :twisted:
