heated mirrors are a nice feature but not important at all. For you US folks just use a bank/rewards card and scrape off the frost off your mirror....if they fog up just shoulder check. Most of my cars have not had heated mirrors and never was a concern for me, and it gets cold as hell in northern Alberta.

VSA (or any traction control feature) are useless IMO up here. All I notice is when they brake a slipping/spinning tire and hinder forward momentum. The LSD on my '08 Si that doesn't have VSA gets much better traction on ice than my '11 Mazda with traction control, or any of my previous vehicles that had traction control systems.

Why would we (US residents) want to use a bank/rewards card to scrape our mirrors? And trying to do a shoulder check when the mirrors fog up is just about useless when your neck is held together with titanium plates and screws.

I live in central FL and use the heated mirrors I installed in my EX on a regular basis - oh, and you can bet your arse I'll be using my heated seats tomorrow morning too!

partially right. Canadian models don't have TPMS, no Honda OEM security system(One way system), but did have the heated side mirrors. The icon on the climate control system button reflects this.

That's one thing I enjoyed about the 06 RSX-S I had a while back. The heated mirrors were nice when needed! And it was a US model.
