Do our mirrors fold in?
Trending Topics
The Euro Accord's mirrors fold at the push of a dash button, which begs the question: why do we have to get out and fold our mirrors manually and Honda owners don't? The Accord badged version of the car shouldn't better equipped than the Acura version. I thought Acura was supposed to have the more upscale version.

Enough joke.
Here's the reason, in Europe, roads are small, super small, tiny bit, narrow, left alone parking spaces, just enough for Mr. Bean MimiCooper while in the U.S., geez, huge space, double space. I'm in Boston, MA and honestly I don't even remember the last time I have to fold the mirrors.
Yeah these mirrors need some force when pushing in. Just wish for the price we pay for and need be this is considered in the entry luxury car division they should have standard
power folding mirrors and push button start!

The mirrors folding in are a safety feature, like if you brush up against a pedestrian instead of a trash can, they will collapse and cause less damage. They are not meant to be folded in to tuck them out of the way on a regular basis. The euro cars have them as a feature so on narrow streets they don't get clipped by other cars. That's not usually a problem in the US.
whew.. thank God these mirror fold out. As I was backing in I a loud snap and when I looked the mirror was folded out. I had a hit a steel bean on the parking deck. I almost had heart attack. I push it back to see if it go back back and snapped right back into place. If this was my old honda accord I would be look at 300 dollar bill.
