Re: Rear Wind Defroster Very Unimpressive
I have had to use mine on a couple of mornings with dew and it didn't get the rear window cleared in 2.5 miles (how far I have to go), but the outside mirrors were clear within a 1/4 mile! My Honda and Chrysler rear defroster were much faster!

Matt, you have my vote for the best misspelling of the year! I KNEW the the Beltway was fully of greedy b**tards!!! So I call it the Dulles Greedway. And they want to raise the tolls to $4.20! Its owned by a private company. So, it sounds like I'm not the only one that has noticed this. As was said, nobody's perfect. But still, if GM can build a rear window defroster than clears the thing in less than 5 minutes, why can't Toyota? |

Even winter frost cleared quickly. This kind of frost today would have taken probably 2 minutes, max, for the whole rear window.

I think most Japanese cars have slow defrosters. I haven't tried the one on my TCH yet, but my 2000 Solara, and 1991 Acura Integra, were also very slow to defrost.
