do posh cars NOT have rear wipers?

My Volvo saloon has heated wing mirrors, wipers on the headlighs but no rear wiper. I haven't had it long enough to remember to wipe the rear windscreen before getting in every time, and really, really miss the wiper.
No light in boot either, which is rubbish - it even has a pull-out belt for holding your shopping bags, but no blimmin' light?! *gnashes middle class teeth*

The 'bidet' as it was known - rear wash/wipe.

About rear wiping or wife moaning?

Side windows are vertical. Far less rain falls on them
Which is why estate cars that have vertical rear windows don't need wipers... Hang on a sec...

Rubber edge on ice scraper. 15 seconds. Off you go.
I love how the inability to see out of a car is somehow down to the design rather than the operator..!
I came here to say this.
It works on your side windows too, so on those damp morning when the car is coated with dew & mizzle, you cna clear your car and ensure adequate all-round visibility when you set off, before you hit anyone! Imagine that!

Being a functioning adult with a reasonable amount of intelligence, it had in fact already occurred to me to do this.
It's less convenient though, that's all. Plus, as mentioned above, the rear window gets rainy when driving slowly or stopped at lights.

Vertical rear windows need wipers because of spray, not falling rain.
Next!

When my mum bought her Micra (back in 1993) she went for one model up from the most basic because the basic wasn't fitted with a rear windscreen wiper! (hatchback design)

If you buy a new Porsche 911 for £71,000, then they are kind enough to offer you a rear wiper for only £235 extra. Bargain.

My Citroen AX didn't have a rear wiper - the only way in which it was comparable to a BMW. I say that because the indicators worked just fine.
