heated mirrors ? they are outside the car why heat them ? Sorry, I am not being a smartass, I honestly don't know why a car would have heated mirrors.

My S in 34 years of driving is the most luxurious car I have owned, I generally drive around in my 1973 FIAT Spider (bought new) or my 1934 British sports cars so the S to me is pure luxury and I have heard of heated mirrors but for the life of me I can't figure why anyone would need them.

You ask from Santa Barbara CA again. You'd heat them to keep the ice off in a New England winter. In a Maryland winter though, we just scrape them. But if you're driving an S2000 in an ice storm, heated mirrors aren't going to be you're biggest worry.

Well ok, that is one I would never have thought of but it makes good sense.

The few times I have been in the snow I just scraped the mirrors but it was not enough of a problem that I would have thought someone has made a solution to the problem. Of course like I said the FEW times I have seen snow.
