I think all IS have the side view mirror tilt. You probably have it turned off. When you adjust the mirror position, you have to press a button for the left or right side. If you leave this switch in the middle position, you cannot adjust either mirror and this middle position also turns the tilt function off. Position the switch for the left or right and the mirrors will tilt.

According to the sales brochure the mirror tilt down feature is included with the Luxury Package. My 2012 IS250 has the Premium Package which doesn't include this feature. My favorite feature is the automatic illumination of the interior and puddle lamps as you approach the car.

+1 was gonna say this. Throttle response is great for an auto too. Also very neutral handling for a stock car thanks to the a-arms up front.

Viru hit the nail on the head.
This is from the 2006 IS Owners Manual, page 40

■Linked mirror function when reversing (vehicles with driving position memory)
The outside rear view mirrors will automatically angle downwards when the vehicle is reversing in order to give a better view of the ground. However, this function will not operate when the mirror select switch is in the neutral position (between L and R).

After a short Youtube video I got it disabled!
