Default Folding Mirrors on 6th? gen

Hi,

I searched the archives and came up with one thread that didn't help me.

I'm just curious about this... We have a 98 Accord EX. The mirrors are fixed. But I've seen other 98-02 cars that have folding mirrors and others that don't. Which years/specs for the 6th gen had the folding mirrors?

I like them better, our 94 Accord LX has them.

Rob

FWIW - my 99 coupe has them. I think all the 99+ have folding mirrors, 98s are fixed

so all american accords before 99 have fixed mirrors???

thats lame, cos my 96 european has folding mirrors, over here i think they started with folding mirrors in 94......

Its to bad that that car manufactures has to have almost completely different cars to make everyone happy =/

it would be alot easier to buy styling and so on from america if our cars were more alike....

well well , cant have everything here in life (almost)

98 as far as I know is the only recent year that they had fixed mirrors. all 5th gen accords and 4th gen accords I have seen have had folding mirrors. THe 99 accord I had had them as well. I dont know why honda put non folding mirrors on the 98 but it was obviously not taken well causing them to change them shortly after that.
