Wiper blades OEM Mazda or OEM Honda
Your new car should absolutely come with OEM wiper blades that allow you to replace the rubber part.
You get the little blade rubber inserts for way dirt cheap, I think it's like 7 or 8 bucks per blade, maybe less depending on the size. It can be a little fiddly to get em in some times, but I think the actual wipers are pretty good quality, so it's worth it to me to keep the oem blades, and get the replacement rubber.
Pros: good quality, dirt cheap
Cons: fiddly to get em in
Vehicle:
Honda
Buy new ones. I replace mine about twice a year.
Pros: replace twice a year
Use iso alcohol on a microfiber towel, wipe the windscreen/back window and the wiper blades with it, then take off the excess and dry with another one.
Then use a glass cleaner+fresh microfiber to clean the windscreen, and wipe the wiper blades(all 3).
Pros: clean windscreen, clean blades
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
I have started buying my wipers from the dealership. Fist they are actually cheaper then most of the brands at the corner car store. Secondly, they work great. My Mazda6 blades are simply the best.
Pros: cheaper, work great, best performance
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
They are definitely slower than my previous vehicle, but I haven’t found them unsafe
Cons: slower than previous vehicle
Vehicle:
Mazda
I am currently riding passenger in a terrestrial downpour in Florida. The highest speed if these wipers is a joke. I have had many cars before this and this “high speed” was a lot closer to the mid speed of my previous vehicles. Super disappointed Mazda thought this was enough.
Cons: wiper speed a joke, super disappointed

I've never owned a vehicle that didn't eventually come across a rain storm that required a pull over because the wipers cant keep up at some point you do just have to pull over and wait it out. Had one so bad in my Cx30 where visibility was so low it disabled all safety sensors and spit up a message on the dash to be careful since they were inactive.
Cons: wipers can't keep up, low visibility
Vehicle:
Mazda
driving on the highway on my CX-30 during a very sudden and heavy storm at night was a pretty scary experience for me. The whole time I was wondering - is everyone else seeing that little?
Cons: scary experience, poor visibility
Vehicle:
Mazda
I just bought my 2024 and experienced my first heavy rain. It was difficult. I also noticed the wiper high speed wasn't nearly as fast as my previous cars. We get semi- frequent heavy rainstorms here, so it does bother me.
Cons: wiper speed not fast enough, difficult in rain
Vehicle:
Mazda
I bought a 2024 CX-30 in April and just got caught in my first heavy rainstorm. I can't believe how slow the wiper speed is at its highest setting compared to all my prior vehicles. I was able to find this is an issue for others elsewhere online but nothing about it here, and no real solutions but it's terrifying to me. I had to pull over at a gas station.
Cons: slow wiper speed, terrifying experience
