Some of the micro-minis, e.g. the 107, Aygo & the baby Audi have single wipers, but they tend to wipe from the side rather than the centre.
I hate single wipers - the ZX seems to kill front wiper blades at more than twice the rate you'd expect for a double-blade effort, plus the blades are enormous!!

My brother's old 190 cosworth wiper was clever. It would push further out when it got to the top corners so it would cover more of the windscreen. Clever but simple bit of thinking!
My old C180 Merc used to do this too. Very impressive; when on the fastest setting it looked pretty manic, and the mechanism was obviously well put together, that it didn't break at such speeds!Riknos said:

Yep my 190 cosworth only has one wiper - works well in the rain but ultimately pointless as its a far more complex system than a 2 blade set up and no more effective - and don't think its cheaper to fit one blade - the single blade costs more than a set of two for my V70 - looks cool in an eightiestastic sort of way though (not my car before you ask! - mines a 2.3 not a 2.5)
