Lol, I also can't be without a wiper, but then again, with the roads being covered in shit and mud round here and some odd air effect that blows literally evertything from underneath onto the back window (sure the hatch wasn't like that!) then a ten minute drive sufficeintly coats the rear window enough to not be able to see a thing. As well as 'starring' following drivers headlights which is horribly glaring.
But thats ok fcos I can use the side windows, oh wait, its French, the blower motor wont work so the windows are steamed up too.
Still have the wing mirrors I guess if I open the windows....oh wait, no, the heaters dont work in those so they're covered in condensation too.
Reversing a big estate with no visibilty anywhere is interesting tbh.
However it's my opinion that I need a wiper - not that everyone does lol. However its also my opinion that if someone can't see a bright white reverse light, hear a rattling clattering HDi engine or can't even see a large object coming towards them they should probably not be walking through car parks anyway!

I guess the blower motor works in yours then? Its amazing how little you can see with everything steamed up, even with the window down joining a motorway is a bit dodgy!
I've also got a feeling theres a nice big rusty hole in my boot judging by the fact the rear area is literally always steamed up, but meh, if I don't look for it then it's not there right...

If they are stupid enough to walk behind a reversing car then they deserve it. Also how often do you reverse at a speed where it would actually be dangerous

Erm, I might have hit someone parked behind me when I though there was noone there and was reversing round the corner.
Got out and had a look, couldn't see any damage, drove off. Got a call the next day, a colleague was at a job for the guy whose car I hit
Thankfully just popped the grille out the bumper and was an easy fix, but talk about embarrassing haha

Love the irony of having a 'Koni' springs sticker slap bang in the middle of the rear window on a car where the suspension appears to have collapsed!

I couldn't help but notice your lack of working suspension. Can I interest you in some handling and style to correct it?
On other cars that look works but I'm afraid 306's just do not pull it off, never have, never will
