The ones you want is OEM power folding mirror kit

Is there a kit out there for it? I doubt I would bother though. It's not a big deal for me at this time. But heated mirrors would be nice.

Are you the type who'd rather have manual roll up windows and manual adjustable mirrors?

After I park my car I fold back my mirrors back and make a "buzzz" sound and they both get folded pretty nice.

Yes there is. That's why I said OEM you can order power folding mirrors & wires & button from Toyota JP or Subaru JP... if you're really interested, prob some vendor here can get em

Windows are different, folding your mirror takes what...a second or two? The only time you really need to fold your mirrors is when the car is parked and then you have to get out of the car, where there are numerous situations where electric windows are handy. Not so much electric folding mirrors...

Well, I go back to my example of our garage. There is very little space so we have to manually fold the mirrors every time we walk by. And then often times when I got into the drivers seat and prepared to back out, I noticed the passenger mirror was folded, so I had to get out, snake around to the other side and unfold it again, wasting time and causing frustration. So yes, it can be very, very handy for some people who often park in tight spaces and so I don't consider it a matter of "laziness." And thus, some features are worth the few extra grams of weight they add.

Only vehicle i have ever wanted or used power folding mirrors is HD trucks ie F250-F450 2500HD's ETC

Keep in mind this was intended for japan.

While my garage entrance is not quite as tight as that, lol, I still would not clear the door if I didn't have folding mirrors.
And when it's pissing down rain, I don't particularly want to have to get out and fold both sides and get back into the car, drive forwards a few meters, then get out again, and the reverse to leave.

Nice feature to have.

sorry gents....im just not buying that your garage doors wont accept this car without folding mirrors, there has not been a time in american car history where cars were on average smaller than this example, if you want to fold your mirrors...cool...but you guys are trying to make it seem like it is a necessity and we got screwed out of a needed feature.

if your car wont fir through the GARAGE door, it is not a GARAGE DOOR...at least not in the USA...maybe overseas, but not here.....(if you are a resident of New York or other over crowded city where owning and driving a car is stupid and very nearly pointless then this message was not intended for you)

Though the doors are pretty standard 16ft for a double, garages themselves are way smaller than they used to be. I would just barely be able to squeeze one of the twins in with my Camry in the 2 car I have. In my grandparents' or in-laws' garage it wouldn't have been an issue at all.

[BRAWL]

A double garage is a false economy in new homes (in Australia at least), as you can get 2 cars in but good luck getting out of them without striking the wall or the other car

I see more value in the folding mirrors when in carparks so as to avoid some waste of DNA smashing your side mirror

...for us in Europe isn't only a garage matter...our historical center of towns and many towns too haven't the larger street of USA. I live in Turin and 1/3 of street derivates of ancient Romans schema, mostly are one way drive...and some buildings have Barocco profile or Liberty Style....very difficult to turn and entry...
Example....
