Video: Underneath the 2016 Prius

thanks. does it scrape at the end of your driveway or similar?

 

I believe that the foldable rearview mirror does *not* have any blinkers in it - that what we're seeing there is just a chrome trim strip, no bulb...??

 

correct. and when you say foldable, you mean manually, not electric.

 

yes - "foldable" as in they are able to be folded (if I desire to do so), which might be distinguished from "folding" as in "push a button and these mirrors are 'folding' in"...

 

I've never seen the point of auto-folding mirrors. The only time I think to do this (manually) is when we're on a ferry, and a lot of people are going to be squeezing by your car. Seems like just more weight/complexity, stuff to break down.

 

some people have very narrow garage doors.

 

i like the overview on the video

 

About the one place I've seen with good parking spaces is the Costo in east Port Coquitlam (near the bridges to Pitt Meadows): good sized spaces, and a pair of lines, about a foot apart, separating each space. The typical lots are crazy: you'll notice some spaces just left empty, and when you look at them you see why, it's nigh impossible to maneuver in/out of them, and/or they're bare minimum and some architect has thrown in a column or something, lol.

 

sounds like a case for folding mirrors, gull wing doors, and maybe a rear exit.

 

Other people have reasonably wide garage doors and dear wife still managed to break 3 mirrors in 4 years.

 

yep, been there. of course, i backed into the closed garage door once.

 

I've tried to shut our garage door, with the hatch open, more times than I care to admit. It typically derails; I'm getting really good at popping it back in.

The hatch spoiler's looking surprisingly good, I've put a cushion on the garage door trailing arm.
