I like them because they're aerodynamic enough that I don't get splashes on the down-stroke when using the washers, like I have with other wiper blades.

Have them on my IX and they work way better than the stock ones. Its a real pain to refill the rubber inserts on them though. Honestly I think its easier to just buy a new set when they wear out.

Couldn't have said it better. I used these on my old Z and now on my evo. Worth every penny

These are excellent wipers (not that mine get much use in So Cal ). I have a set on my Galant VR4 and had a set on my GTI. FWIW these are similar to the OE wipers on Audi's and VW's.

Glad I'm not the only one. I usually get a strange look when I explain that problem.

Actually, I have these wipers and they blow. At least the ones I have. Driver's side has streaked since day 1.

Maybe I got a faulty batch.
