Same here in Italy, rear wiper is extremely rare and for most people is a deal breaker

If I was looking on the lot new or used and loved the rest of the build, it wouldn’t be a deal breaker for me. I always love how enthusiasts get entrenched on what are deal breakers for them.

My first 911 , didnt know the rear wiper was controvertial hahah here in the US its rare and it gets pointed out alot, most love the way aerokit and wiper looks together. I think it looks better than wiper alone but biased ofcourse

I like the look of the dual pipes , but I think its because I didn't pick sport exhaust? which I didn't care for to be honest. I love how it sounds without it and its also manual Im obsessed with this car what can I say. My only regret is getting the sun roof, I use it sometimes but I would probably spec without it.

You should have bought a Ferrari, they don't drive their cars either.

so few are that way in North America. It might look spiffier without it, but when it rains hard or especially when it snows, it becomes a necessity.
I have it and enjoy having it. It’s a good option IMHO.
