I wondered about the rear wiper, but having test driven 911s in the wet I quickly realised that one isn’t necessary since the rear screen quickly clears of water once moving. Unlike the Macan!

The whole rear of the Macan is an absolute dirt magnet. Guess it’s something to do with the aerodynamics

Just like any other hatchback, on stilts or not. ;)

I agree that a rear viper arm on a 911 or a Cayman is a travesty. :lol: (apologies to those who have them on their cars)
One can always do a few quick swipes with a squidgy on the rear glass to clear any water beading before setting off, that's what I do on dark winter mornings.

Maybe Semerka was writing in a German accent [emoji6]

Agree with the use of a squeagie for the rear window but my daughter’s C1 gets nowhere near as dirty as the Macan did
