Tell me again why we need electric folding mirrors?

Narrow car parking spaces and fat people.

I'd love folding mirrors on my next car! Ideal for roads where you might think people will ding your mirrors and for smaller parking spaces.

Fat people? Well yes if they're walking between cars in carparks but wouldn't their fat Absorb the mirrors?

My 2010 Kia Sorento had them. They were great.

With the top spec Mazda 6 climbing in pricing here I wonder whether that means the RS will climb as well, or drop to be competitive. I'm betting climb. I've had the Focus ST in mind as my next car in 2ish years time, but another RS hatch might be replacing our current one instead having now seen them.

Skoda are offering a Canton sound system upgrade on the new Octavia. The logo you see on the tweeter is Canton.

I have never heard of Canton!!Is this any sort of comparitive product to Bose or Dynaudio?

Isnt Canton a type of chicken sauce???

Canton have been around for years.

Car Audio - Loudspeaker from CANTON (en)

Would have saved me the hassle of getting the aftermarket Focal upgrade that took three tries for the installers to get 'right', though sounds great now..

German designed speakers with a solid history in home audio/theatre. Well engineered, but relatively untested in car audio domains. Always better to go aftermarket for car audio provided you find the right installer, and therein lies the problem for many who choose to go down this path.

My DIY sub install went pretty well... And sounds great.
This stock system is awesome!

really helpfull if you have a narrow garage. I wish mine folded in automatically as the mirror lines up perfectly with the bench vice & it's always a hard choice whether to have a kidney removed with the mirror or be jabbed with the vice
