OK, but disappointed in the engineering
NO ONE should have ANY difficulties with windshield wipers NOT lifting away from the window because some design engineer placed them such that the hood blocks that possibility. THERE IS SIMPLY NO EXCUSE FOR THIS KIND OF STUPIDITY. The fact that no one caught AND CORRECTED this truly stupid, totally UNnecessary design flaw, makes my winters miserable and this product a continual pain in the you-know-what. Such a small thing to get right. There is absolutely no reason or excuse for this.
In addition, the factory recall brought forward an additional problem. There is a rubber gasket, one located on each side of the car, that is critical to the operation of the wheel assembly. In all my years of driving (that would be 58 years), I have never experienced the failure of this gasket within the first 5 years of a car's ownership.
I bought this particular car because it was the only standard transmission available - and I looked very thoroughly online.
