Rain sensing wipers?

[davemarco]

Hi all. In doing my research on this car, I could've sworn that I read that it comes with rain sensing wipers (from multiple sources). However, when comparing my SI's wiper stalk to pictures of the regular Touring Civic's wiper controls, mine does not seem to have this feature. Am I missing something?

I don't believe it does . I haven't found that feature if it does

It seems to also be listed in every single publication's write-up. But for some reason, it has since disappeared from the official spec list...

It's not even in the based-on-Touring-trim Canadian specs (as of their latest Si PR document back in May), FWIW

No, you're not missing anything - Honda did.

The initial press release that circulated online stated the Si had rain-sensing wipers and remote start - both of which were in error. Honda corrected their press release, but some media outlets did not update their articles.

I thought it did as well. But apparently it doesn't.

Well I'll be damned. I thought it did when buying it, and I've thought it had them while I've been driving it. I expected it to just know what speed to go when it's raining but chalked it up to just being the feature where it slows down the wipers when you're stopped.... Good to know it doesn't actually have them.
