I wish you would all buy the $100,000 cars you all seem to think you deserve and leave these forums to people that enjoy what these cars have to offer without bickering over every little thing that happens to pretty well every car manufactured these days which a pretty small really.
The Self-Entitled Generation. Do a google and see why this is possibly the most unbearable generation of self-entitle whiners to ever grace the earth. Threads like this just make me sad. How many threads of "Wipers = Fail", "OMG rock chips, crappy Mitsubishi", "Cracked my windshield, Mitsubishi junk", "Plastic valve cover? I deserve better", etc. do we really need?

It wasn't too many decades ago where it was just nice just to have a car that started consistently in the cold weather and lasted 100K miles without falling apart.

lmao, 12k? I mean, I guess it depends on where your car sits, and what weather you drive in, but on my truck they are really good for about 3-5k... Usually one winter season. It is parked outside usually. The Evo, I still have the original blades and have 16k.
I'm not sure why you would expect any OEM "designed to wear out" part to be any any sort of low wear. I'd rather replace the windshield wipers than the tires. I'm on my 3rd set of tires, and first set of wipers...

You know what really grinds my gears? Washer fluid nozzles that leak all over the hood, especially within hours of washing the car.
How about that? Is that a legitimate rant/complaint about the OEM windshield wiping/cleansing system? These are the ****tiest nozzles I've ever seen on ANY car let alone one with a sticker price of almost $38k. Or is this an unnecessary complaint due solely to my membership to a generation of "whiners?"
Maybe you can afford to replace wipers every 1,294 miles with our Social Security money

so bosch icons are the ones to get?
and yeah, i replace once a year. i was lazy and picked up wiper blades from the dealership, what a POS those were. i actually returned them twice because they were leaving lines.
speaking of whining, i want to start a thread on those damn turn signals! man, i leave mine all all the freakin' time. they NEVER turn off!! lol...i actually got use to that and don't care. in the beginning i felt kinda silly after realizing my signal was on for like a mile or two..
