I have it on Auto Fold also to know if the doors are locked or unlocked from afar. It also gives it that feel of luxury.

Yes, always. Especially if you parallel park while in the city... have seen some rude bikers grab for the side mirrors to prevent them from falling... -_-

How robust are the motors driving the mirrors? I heard some issues with failing motors on the last generation. I do not use mine often at all on the 2011. Just starting to use it on my 2015 today. Nice that it only folds when the doors are locked.

Of course I use it. My college parking lot in the engineering section is a joke. Peoples backpack will hit your car.

U can set it to auto fold/unfold with the ignition instead of the lock/unlock button.
