An Idea that I wish we had
We need heated mirrors, somehow someway there's gotta be one. I hate when you gotta drive in the morning and there's frost n fog on your mirrors. The MPV has heated mirrors n the fog n frost come right off in a matter of minutes. Does anyone know of a way to get them or where? Thanks.

Yes, a lot of cars in Japan have mirrors that fold in with a press of a button (luxury cars here stateside are starting to have that "new" feature also; the Japanese have this for the past 20 years).

BTW, the JDM folding mirrors either power fold or are heated, but not both.

Cargo and taxes and tolls and what so ever might be pretty high. There were used gen3 electric mirrors for ~86 USD (www.autovahinkokeskus.fi) Unfortunately that site is in Finnish so i guess it's no use for you .
But how about your dealer there?
