Nearly all of them.

Mazda MX5 has anyway.

Loads I'd say. I have a Volvo s40 of that era that has them. Had a 2005 and 2007 Golf GTI in the past and they both had it so I'd imagine most VAG derived cars from the last 10+ years would have them.

Honda Accord, Lexus IS.

ra0044 · 31-03-2018 9:35am

We even had a 2002 Seat Leon that had them. I would imagine all but the most basic cars had them by then.

15 years ago, I had a 93 Vauxhall Cavalier with them. They had their own switch but you could only heat the mirrors if the rear window heater was already on. You couldn't run the mirror heating on their own.

Cee-Jay-Cee · 31-03-2018 9:47am

OP is that the only thing you look for when buying a car???

bladespin · 31-03-2018 9:51am

Passat, Jetta

bazz26 · 31-03-2018 12:42pm

Might be easier to list the ones that don't have them.

Voodoomelon · 31-03-2018 12:45pm

Must have four wheels and heated mirrors. Anything else is a bonus.

bazz26 · 31-03-2018 12:48pm

My father had a Nissan Bluebird with them back in 1988.

TheChizler · 31-03-2018 12:50pm

Opel Vectra has em.

demanufactured · 31-03-2018 2:39pm

All cars have them now.

CJhaughey · 31-03-2018 5:04pm

My 97 Landcruiser had them.

kirving · 31-03-2018 5:07pm

01 Focus has them, Ghia did anyway.

I would suspect almost every car sold in the last 15 years would have them.

punisher5112 · 31-03-2018 5:09pm

I remember my dad's Opel kadett it was an extra to have a mirror oh and a radio cassette player.

Seat belts were also optional in the rear they didn't come with any.

KERSPLAT! · 31-03-2018 5:12pm

My Saab 93 has them

Is that a salon stylists car? Boxter for the salon owner?

The current A3 attraction specification doesn't have them!

pah · 31-03-2018 6:50pm

First car I had, a 99 Astra in 2005 that had them. I've had several cars since, none of which had them including 02 A4, 04 Laguna, 05 93, 06 SMAX a 132 DS5, 132 zafira tourer until my most recent car had them again - a 06 is250

I had forgotten how handy they are!

atheercrg2015 · 31-03-2018 8:04pm

i have changed lots of cars since 2007 never got car with heated wing mirror apart of classic BMW 1991

atheercrg2015 · 31-03-2018 8:06pm

especially with the weather we have in Ireland

colm_mcm · 31-03-2018 8:07pm

Usually they don’t have a separate switch so unless you noticed them working you wouldn’t give it a second thought.

In 07 for example on Toyotas the only model to not have heated mirrors standard was the Aygo

liamog · 31-03-2018 8:45pm

Mine are both controlled by the rear window heater

theteal · 31-03-2018 8:48pm

07 Mazda 3 has ‘em. Not much change from £50 to replace them either

Philb76 · 31-03-2018 9:21pm

I find a wipe with a tissue or my sleeve does the job quicker people Will be asking wot cars come with brakes next

Avatar MIA · 31-03-2018 10:07pm

The Mk3 TT doesn't have them (as standard). :rolleyes:

Theres a fairly recent Astra in our extended family and it doesn't seem to have them.

All our VW cars in the last 12yrs have them.

A. Incorrect
B. The op isn’t looking for a “now” car, obviously

On a side note, once you have a car with this feature, you’ll never be happy with a car that doesn’t have it, I don’t care what’s under the bonnet.

I didn't have them on my 04 avensis strata or my 12 avensis strata either.

colm_mcm · 01-04-2018 4:57pm

04 wouldn’t have had them, but I’m surprised the 12 doesn’t as the 09 had them.

ofcork · 01-04-2018 4:59pm

Maybe they were an optional extra I assume there would be a switch for them.

Would usually be powered as part of the rear window de-mister.

Tropheus · 01-04-2018 6:00pm

My father in law's 2001 Passat has them. Same for me 2003 Allroad.

Noccy_Mondy · 06-04-2018 10:01am

2008 Mondeo has them, although they only work when you press the quick clear front windscreen button, I'd imagine it's the same with the rest of Good stuff. Most fresher vag stuff should have a button to itself.

theskibag · 06-04-2018 11:12am

2010 jaguar xf has them

ednwireland · 06-04-2018 12:02pm

My 05 Octavia has them, ambiente not even elegance spec - you can turn them on/off on the door mirror adjuster. (so has the 131 tiguan)
