    Thank god the Prius is so good the only thing we can find to complain about is the rear window wiper, the rear spoiler across the back window and having to put petrol in the bloody thing.

    If we get really bored we can always talk about the driver's seat and the fuel tank bladder. :D

    Roy, i felt the same and after driving a Pri in rainy Pac NW, i have probably used my rear wiper maybe 4 times in 4½ years.

    but after 25 inches of snow in the month of December alone, i am now fully aware of why its there.

    I know what you're talking about. My daughter lives in Vancouver, WA. She sent us pictures of their back yard. If I do go ahead and get a new Prius, I will probably let her have the Scion when my wife and I go out there for the arrival of our first grand child in October. Our daughter will have a new baby and a car that's still in great shape and I'll get a new car. Looking forward to all of it.

    We get a lot of snow, ice and slush in the winter. I would say New Englanders really need a working rear window wiper. The waterproof galss would be a nice addition but I already put Rain-X on the side windows as it is as well as the mirrors and I will start using Aquapel on the front windshield and the rear window.
    But even with that we still need a blade to clear snow as well as dirt in the summer.

    Here in New England we get a lot of snow, ice and slush. We really need a rear wiper on our cars. Rain-X and Aquapel on the sides and windshield as well as the back help but you still need a wiper back there.
