I don't like the chrome on any other color, but (after seeing the pictures of Hershey's friend's car) I do like the chrome and Classic Silver Metallic together on the 3-door. Isn't the Toyota emblem on your hatch chrome?
Not a problem with a single wiper.
Drove most of last week in the rain to and from work.

The rear is useless though!!

Thanks, good to know, especially from you. As a fellow picky negotiator/strong opinion holder, I would think you would critique this safety aspect with the same mindset I would.

Agreed the front wiper is not a trouble, but the rear one is just worthless weight :)
