My wife's Macan has the automatic rain sensor wipers. They are amazing.
My 86 El Camino and my 85 911 both have delay systems that are mechanical. The Elky is right on the wiper stalk and pretty easy to set. I use it a lot.
Just last weekend I drove to Arkansas in the 911. We hit several bits of rain. Using the intermittent wipers on the 911 is a bit of a yoga for the hand for my large hands. Reach up and twist the little knob and dial in more or less is not easy, and requires my eyes to be off the road for a second.
I wonder how many other cars have a factory delivered intermittent wiper function on a totally separate knob from the wiper control. I can hit the wiper stalk if I need on wipe, or just wait until the next wipe, or twist the knob to adjust. If the rain gets heavier, hit the wipers to on, and either leave the intermittent running, or turn it off. Weird design.
