I have Rain-X lattitude on my Cadillac and ES. They are very good IMO in regards to rain and snow. However, I have found that if even the tinest particle gets under the blade, it will smear and streak due to the way pressure is distributed across the blades. So keep it clean and you should be very happy with them.

I find that my wipers last quite longer when used with Rain-X repellent. I don't have to turn the wipers on higher settings so the blade doesn't have to change direction as much. More importantly, I clean the wiper blades every time I wash my car to remove grits and dirt buildups.

Below is a relevant portion of an October 2010 article on Windshield Wipers in Consumer Reports.
"Choose right
We've found the Valeo 600 Series ($15 per wiper) and RainX Latitude ($21) best overall. Other good choices: the Anco 31 Series ($10) and Contour ($16), Michelin RainForce ($12), and Valeo 900 Series ($20). Prices are for 24-inch models."

Very interesting but I have Goodyear Assurance Wipers and have had them for a little over a year. Still work great. I ended up getting them at Costco for only $5 per wiper. Found them on Amazon but they are much more expensive then what I paid.
