Frog: The exterior mirrors will fold in, but motorized folding is not an option on the RC. That is an option generally made available on larger SUVs, and sometimes on the not-all-that-large SUVs.

Bmw has it in pretty much all cars. That sucks they are not motorized.

I don't think the lack of motorized folding mirrors rises to the level of "sucks," and perhaps those BMW guys just have smaller garages, but my guess is that this option would be little requested in a relatively small coupe like the RC.

I agree 100% with you. Not having folding mirrors does not fall into the level of "Sucks". Would it be nice, sure, but is it a deal breaker, hell no.

Lol gawd. "Level of sucks" ? What the hell does that even mean. Sorry, I should of said...awe shucks I wish the car had folding mirrors. Is that better?

; )

The cars I previously owned had them and a lot of cars in the 50+ range typically have that option. Not a deal breaker by any means, it was an afterthought since I already own the car.

Considering the etymology of the expression "you suck," it means that's a pretty heavy meatball to leave laying out there on the table just because the RC owner has to fold his own mirror, should he ever want to. "C'est dommage" would be more fitting, I would think, at least in the presence of ladies.

Sort of like the 9 levels of Hell. It's not as bad as one might think.

No Problem, and don't feel bad as I had to do it a few times myself too.

Another thank you. I wish I could change to 5 blinks on my MB, 3 is definitely too short.

As for the mirrors no problem getting in and out of the garage but would never fold them if I had to get in a tight space. Prefer to park further out and walk.

Glad I could help. I agree I wish they auto-folded, but you can do it manually. I too park away from others as most people a car is just a way to get around and don't care about how it looks or respect the property of others.
