Can walk into expressway toyota and beat above price, and save $500

Why are you trolling all of my threads?

Who is your dealer? Can you pm me his dealership or name/number. Thanks.
Good deal by the way. 23% off MSRP is great.

Can someone please explain to me the power folding mirror fetish?? I do not get it.

My mirrors power fold while driving (lemon law case after 4 service visits). My friend calls them aerodynamic, as if I need that on a WIDE :sweden: : wagon :laughing:

:chocolate_bar:

:laughing: Mine fold when I hit another object with them. When else would I want them to fold? It’s a serious question. Do a lot of people have really narrow garages or something? I don’t get it.

Is this just desperation for a “unique feature” now that Kia Rios have Apple CarPlay?

I have never used my power folding mirrors

Narrow garages are a feature in many newer houses for some inexplicable reason

because newer houses are skinnier so they can put more of them on the same footprint

Narrow garage
Narrow parking spaces at work or at malls
Shitty street parking situations ( NYC one way street, 2 sides parked cars and then double parked jackasses all over the place so other cars barely fit)
If it wasn’t such a fetish it wouldn’t be a distinctive lure in high trims
Because F u that’s why :slight_smile:
Because found an excuse to get out of a deal

It’s a long list of random things that like everything in car buying is pure inexplicable emotion driven BS.

That’s a good one!! I’ve encountered spaces like that a few times, they’re fun :laughing: how are you liking that RS3?

Hi Chris. Honda tends to build their cars a bit wider sometimes for their class. For those of us that have single garage bays it makes it a lot tighter to pull in especially if your garage approach is not direct. For example our home has three single garage doors and you have to come in at an angle to access them.

Having folding mirrors allows us a lot more room to maneuver and not have to do a multiple point turn to enter the garage. If you have a large Single door it’s probably not much of an issue. But if you have a tight garage space they are a lifesaver sir. Some people also like them if you have a tight parking lot situation. But that’s not really our case in our community :-).

Not common in the United States. But in Japan you sometimes actually have to collapse your mirrors so two cars can get by each other on the road. Because their space is so limited. And parking is such a premium / small you commonly have to collapse your mirrors to get in a space. So we know that Honda tends to make their vehicles with the power folding options - as it something that’s almost mandatory in Countries were space is a premium. Sorry for the long answer sir. But I hope that helps.

Apologies Jeff. I think we’ve beat this one to death. Let’s close it out so we’re not bombing your thread. Do you want to sell cars and that’s why were here :-).

Yeesh, what kind of lube do you use to get in there? :slight_smile:

Doing it every day is not fun at all :laughing:

Usually when i take the RS3 out for a short city drive, i get 6-7 mpg… Tells you all you need to know. That 5cyl sound is :drooling_face:

It’s a meme thread, remember guys? :point_up:

Did you want me to put the lube question in the meme format? I didn’t think it would be appropriate :slight_smile: But yes, you are right.

I like power folding mirrors as a visual locked car indicator. Also, it seems like they will come in handy when you road trip to Kyoto.

What I really fetishize is auto dip mirrors when car is in R.
