I didn't know it came on in reverse, That explains my confusion. I thought the switch was messed up, I kept trying to turn it off. I have my store name in vinyl across the back window so I rarely use the wiper as I don't want it to peel it off the glass. It seemed like sometimes it would come on by itself.

Yep, I see that. FWIW, both the coupe and the Cabrio come in Passion trim as shown at smart USA - open your mind to the car that challenges the status quo.

Push forward toward the dash and not clock wise or counter clockwise. It took a while to figure it out. I like that feature too. The one where the wipers going into intermittent mode when one stops.

Don't shoot the messengers for making fun of you, when the problem is Operator Error.

(And maybe, just maybe, "so many people" are getting a little tired of everyone jumping up and down on this car like it's a victim in a scene from "A Clockwork Orange" and the posters are Alex and his Droogs. It's bad enough people complain all day long about the "automatic" transmission, the fact that it blows around in the wind, the fact that it slides in the snow since it's RWD, or the fact that it doesn't act--nor are the buyers treated--as if it's a $50,000 Mercedes. But when people complain about problems the car doesn't have....)
