after the first rainfall.. one small observation..

as a smoker.. rollin down windows on any car is a bitch.. since ur arm always gets wet.. thats with almost any car i have ever driven.. even the protege5..

with the 3.. i can have it all the way down while drivin on the highway.. and not get a single drop of rain come in thru the window.. just simply amazing.. dont even need window visors..

gotta love that..

nah man.. if u notice.. the side of the windshield framing.. its really high.. almost 1/2 inch higher which makes it act like a block against the water to travel to the side of the car.. basically forces the water to travel up and over the car..

most other cars the windshield is flush with that side piece of metal.. i think its called the A piller..

They do actually!~

Its called swiffer Auto. Personally, I don\'t see the difference other than the fact that the handle is black instead of blue.

Try Callifornia Duster sold @ Canadian Tire for about 15$ works great

I wish the gas door was on the drivers side as on my previous P5. And the back wiper wipes towards the driver. I thought I\'d miss the white guages on the P5, but the high intensity lighting on the 3 is awesome. I miss my former yellow exterior - I counted 7 or 8 on the roads back home from work today. I expect to see hundreds of 3\'s on the area roads soon as it will be some time before another new model (4-5 years) becomes available and the 3 is sooo popular. The P5 was here for only two model years.

I vouch for that too. If you just use it for interior panels and dash of car, the duster never needs washing. Use a separate one for exterior though. In the summer, I use it to \"dust\" the car body almost every day after I\'ve washed the car. Keep the dust at a minimum.

Wow, I thought I was alone in \"swiffering\" the car at stop lights:D

give up smoking...problem solved...I did...Keep your windows up as it won\'t let in the noise, dirt and stop putting a drag on your car. Besides you will now hear your radio you paid so much for.

Yup... I\'ve had the same one for 4 years now the thing looks black because it\'s soo dirty... anyway it works really great.

They even have the big one to take the dust off your whole car.
