I've never gotten used to my car that does that...only the right side tilts down when reversing and I find it distracting so I leave it off most of the time. I think it tilts down too far...but to be fair - I have not tried the mirrors in the RX - they might be better.

The mirror dipping in reverse feature can be de-activated by positioning the left / right directional mirror button (top button) to centre position.

Looking at the mirrors limits your rearview vision. Turning your head back while backing up allows you to see out the rear window as well as he side widows.

Not that I am aware of. By the way I got in a Neptune Blue Sport. It looks great, I think you will be pleased.

Hopefully I can get it within a week. I would like all the snow and ice to melt first.

Could one of you lucky folk who've already taken delivery give me a measurement of the cargo area with the rear seat all the way back (upright seating position).
I'm just talkin' tape measure linear measurements here - nothing fancy...I forgot to see if the double stroller is going to fit in the back w/o too much hassle when I was at the Dealership...
Thanks again.

cargo measurements
cfisher:
It's about 39" (deep) X 55" (widest). With the rear seats moved forward, add another 3" to make it 42 X 39. But the distance between the wheel well intrusions is about 38". The moveable rear seats are a great feature, plus they tilt backward (and of course forward). It's quite convenient and easy to make the changes. later, ldf

Unfortunately, it's raining today, so I can't take any good pictures, but when it's nice out again (hopefully tomorrow) I'll snap some shots with the stroller in the back.

I was planning on washing the 330 today and taking some picture to post, but we're supposed to be getting some snow tomorrow, so there was no use. It's to dirty to snap pictures right now.
