This is starting to become such a common feature in even near-luxury vehicles these days. I must say I am rather disappointed we don't have it. There are two features the G35 doesn't have that most cars of this class do have the option for - rain sensing wipers and parking assist sensors. I think both should have been included in the technology package. But, other than that, this thing has every bell and whistle I could ever want (in a car this class).

Am I the only one here that actually prefers to adjust the wiper speed manually? I like to be in full control of everything I do in the car (although I've pretty much set on the auto AC at 73 F...heheh). The rain falls in the Bay Area are so sporadic, so I prefer to not have the speed of the wipers depend on the speed of my car.

Kinda off the subject, but I really like that the spray nozzles are hidden underneath the hood unlike most cars that are right there for everyone to see. I haven't really looked around too much to see what other cars have the hidden nozzles. Anyone know?

I've used Rain-X and as Wayne says: Zaino Z-6 with excellent results.

Very hidden Spray nozzles.

There are two triangles built into the headlights. When the head lights are on and the engine is running, if you press the washer button, the two triangles come out, away from the car, and expose the washers. When they are finished, they drop back into the headlight.
I didn't know this until one night I was spraying the windshield and I notice water spraying onto the headlight. I stopped the car and I couldn't find any sprayers until I had my wife spray the windshield while I stood in the rain.
Very cool!
