Does anybody else wish their TT's windshield wipers had 1 more (faster) speed?

I don't know if Audi deliberately limited the fastest sweep speed of the wipers for safety (so you don't "overdrive" your wipers like one might overdrive one's headlights), but I would sure appreciate one more faster setting. I never noticed this being a problem in BMW's or even Ford's. My TT's fastest setting is too slow for my taste, and I was hoping my new A4 would be different but it's not. So I'm guessing this is an Audi thing?

Default Solution: Drive faster so the water rolls off the top quicker.

Default Oh cool, pleasure to meet another GA local...

Yeah, there are 2 Mk1 TT's in Athens that I see regularly, but no Mk2 TT's and I don't think most people recognize it (it does get stares). Heck, even when I'm in Atlanta I don't see too many (and I've never seen another S-line outside of the dealership parking lot but I know they're out there!).

Anyway, I monitor the SE forum so maybe I'll bump into you at the next ATL event. Merry Christmas!

BTW, I love your Turbine wheels. I bet they are cake to clean to (you can probably almost wipe them in one circular motion).

I put RainX on the windshield and then there's no need to run the wipers.
