eck, One of the things I hate about my car is the rain sensing wipers. I cannot adjust the speed or the timing & I think they wipe too much. They are only useful when my wife drives it, I tell her the temp, lights & wipers are set to auto don't bother looking for the switches. The sunroof package includes the homelink garage opener, electric rear blind & the rain sensor wipers.

The UK as a huge tax rolled into the price. Cars sold in North America are earning nearly the same as UK and Europe for the factory.

Everytime when it rains I just turn it on without having to worry about changing its speed. Nice feature!!

same with me, i rarely used it on my audi, so i saved $1700

i think you can still adjust speed, but only 2 choices though. If you think it's wiping too much then the rain must be very minimal, maybe you can try to turn it off until it's too much too see and then turn it back on.
