Replying to: rdenis (May 13, 2007 10:10 pm) The uncertainty about the heated mirrors is that there is no reference in the specs sheet in this regard, for any of the models. While I'm aware that this is an "unadvertised" feature of the car, I don't have any hard facts so far. It's not that I don't believe you, but due to this uncertainty generated buy Mitsu failing to include it in the specs, I will have to confirm that I have indeed this feature IN MY CAR. I will have this chance pretty soon when I will have my left side mirror replaced.

Replying to: rdenis (May 13, 2007 9:44 pm) Personally, I would be willing to pay few more bucks for some of the features in my wish list and I would not trade in any existing feature. In my list I only have features that can be found in the economy cars and even better, in the Outlander elsewhere. Better door panels and HVAC controls are not out of reach and have nothing to do with the luxury either. I gave the 2008 Lancer as an example for the door panels. They are still hard plastic, but textured, therefore more resistant to scratches. Replies to this message: rdenis (May 14, 2007 7:49 am) dodo2 (May 14, 2007 8:28 am)

Replying to: rdenis (May 14, 2007 7:49 am) I'm glad I made myself clear. On another hand , I think Mitsu will add more features in the coming model years, but the price will go up as well. The point is that the Outlander will still offer good value for the money, especially in Canada where there is big gap between the Outlander and the competition price wise. While I'm not into mods, I was serious when I said I would get the AUTO ON headlights if I could. This is the only thing I miss compared to my Mazda3. The other cosmetic things I can live without no problem and I know more accessories available in other markets will come over here too. It's just a matter of time. Still, the Outlander is a great vehicle (the best in class as far as I'm concerned), and the way I see the posts in this thread is how to make it even better without departing from it's intended market place.

Replying to: rdenis (May 13, 2007 10:10 pm) I am not really a handyman with cars to pull door panels off... with computers I do things like that no problem. But of course I belive you. Yet we had no confirmations though that this feature is consistanly available and working on US sold Otlander.   I do have XLS AWD. You right, there is decription of heated mirrors in manual! But it also says "when equipped", and I guess dealer does not have to fix an equipment, when equipment is optional and it's not in specs?   Could anybody with US purchased Outlander confirm working heated mirrors?

Replying to: rdenis (May 13, 2007 8:34 pm) >> this is a Mits, not a g'damned BMW, Lexus, or MB. You want all those other things, add another 10 or 12k to the price. As far as I am concerned, Mitsu spent their money in the right places. if you want a rear camera, parking sensors, heated washer fluid, auto lock doors, auto on headlights, repanelled plastic with matching leather, better sound deadening material etc., you can DIY for about a $1000 or less - for ALL these items. This Mits is one of the easiest vehicles to modify.    Yes, of course I am expecting to pay for extras, but most of these extras don't cost much. Think about it: how much would cost plastic "wood" trim and painted plastic handles, or rear digicam (added to existing navigation)? Digicams sold for $30 retail these days. I have lights with both motion and light censors for $5 each in my hallway - these censors cost nothing! Of course, they use little better qulity components in cars (I hope!), but this is not a cutting edge technology to cost a lot. And no need to compare to Lexus: my previuos car standard 2004 Camry XLE (purchased new for $20K) had dash/door wood trim, doors with padding, chrome interior door handles, auto-lock doors, illuminated vanity mirrors, compass, power seats, home link, auto-dimming mirror, sunglass compartment. These are not luxury features at all, but still Otlander came short on most of these.   btw, for another $12k these "luxury" Lexus RX350 and BMW X3 in standard configuration don't even come with leather.   And for these extra $12k standard Lex and X3 have no 6-speed shiftable auto tranny + paddle shifters, no 18" tires, FastKey, keyless ignition, bluetooth, LED rear lights, 6 CD stereo with MP3, roof rails... but the standard Outlander XLS does have it all! Now, I guess, as a surprise easter egg, it even comes with heated mirrors?!

Replying to: chelentano (May 13, 2007 10:22 am) I would like to see three more inches of ground clearance, a diesel motor, and low range, and a real skid plate. Still, I can't wait to buy one of these babies. Replies to this message: chelentano (May 15, 2007 11:30 am) piast (May 15, 2007 3:05 pm)

#55 of 95 No heated mirrors in California XLS AWD by biscuit_xls May 15, 2007 (8:42 pm)
I can confirm that the mirrors in my California 07 XLS 4WD are NOT heated. Replies to this message: rdenis (May 15, 2007 10:20 pm) chelentano (May 16, 2007 7:24 am) biscuit_xls (May 17, 2007 10:49 pm)
