Maybe this is stupid question of the day but why did honda not include this option for the s2k thats in 99% of all other cars on the market? I thought it was odd my wifes mini didn't have them when she bought it, is it just a convertible thing? Are they easy enough to swap from an accord or something?

 

there is intermittent wipers on my 01... now there is only one intermittent setting so the interval is not adjustable but there is definitely an intermittent setting.

 

Intermittent, not variable speed. An aftermarket rain-sensing module exists for the lazy.

 

thats what I meant variable speed it only has one intermittent setting which is too slow

 

Oh, Its a honda thing, My mom's 04 civic doesn't have it either, I think they were at that time reserving that feature for their Acura cars because my last car (03 RSX-S) had variable speed

 

That's weird. My friend's '02 Civic coupe had variable intermittent wipers and that's the same generation as your mom's car. His was an EX, though, so that might be the difference.

What's really weird is my old '02 Si, which is the top-of-the-line Civic model, DIDN'T have variable intermittent wipers even though my friend's EX model of the same vintage did. Don't know what Honda was thinking there...

Also, my father's old '98 EX V6 Accord sedan had the variable wipers. So, it's definitely not reserved only for Acuras but maybe only reserved for (some) of the higher trim models back then.

 

Def not a Honda thing.

My 1991 Accord had variable speed, my 2001 Prelude had variable speed.

 

I posted the same thread in the "tell honda" section a while back. I got the same responses. Either i was lazy or some other smart ass response.

Guess the rest of the car makers are just light years ahead with a variable speed setting on their lines.

 

Meh -- this sort of list could go on and on... Are these features really dealbreakers for you?

 

No they aren't but are they for honda? Its not like inventing the wheel here just grab the same wipers from a civic and include variable speed wipers what would it cost them a few extra pennies?
