I found out I'm getting a variable wiper stalk for my car. I had one like that on my 240 and loved being able to change the wiper speed. P5 owners can get one out of a MPV, but sedan owners can only use ones out of European Mazdas. Fortunately for me, a friend found one in a 626 and is shipping it to me. I'm assuming I'll have a to wait a couple weeks though.
As for cruise, yes there are some situations where you can do a better job but for the majority of the time it will do a better job than you can ever hope to. I now regret not getting it on my RX-7 when new, which is why I have all the necessary pieces from the junkyard to install it (one of these days).

Rain-x + lowest wiper setting works fine for me 
As for CC, I'll admit that for long trip it would be good. I'm usually not driving for more than an hour to get anywhere, so I rarely use it. But for 5 hours of highway driving, I can see your point; and the extra mpg could'nt hurt.

You're lucky you have a sedan, the major design flaw that causes rear fender rust is a P5-specific thing.

my daily commute is under 11 miles now and now that I don't have time for my weekly trip to Toronto I'm sure you'll catch up very quickly.
I'll still trade, you don't have your original engine still --in that regard, you still have quite a bit of catching up to do, no?
I'm still waiting to see how far Mark (Bazooka Joe elsewhere) goes with his turbo (and auto!) P5. thumper kit ftw!
though in reality his car could have blown up and I would have no idea unless he mentioned it on here. *crosses fingers* I sure hope not, it's so pretty
