I still had another 20 minutes to go on the highway. I was pretty much F'd. By the time I made it to somewhere I could pick up some fluid, I could barely see. I was about to pull an Ace Ventura and hang my head out the window.
thats exactly the point. I shouldn't have to check my fluid levels when they could put a 5 dollar sensor in there.

That's a false statement with all the add ons that most people get....

+1 Exactly....the EVO is a good performing car, but it is nowhere close to being some crazy all out performance only car like an Exige, Cobra R (no warranty when sold), or others that are out there. It doesn't take long to check the fluids but still a pain. And there are options that can get added to increase weight with performance loss.

I don't think anyone is saying the EVO sucks because it doesn't have a warning light for the washer fluid. However, it would have been more convenient, especially in places where bad weather occurs at random like up here, and washer fluid gets used abundantly.
