My 2001 Accord LX has heated mirrors. They work well in any weather
Mother Nature throws at us here.

Got 'em as standard equipment on a recently purchased 07 Accord EXL. Don't
get much snow/ice here in central Georgia-- but the one time I used them
when a sudden temperature inversion caused all the glass to fog up, they
worked well-- as did the rear window defogger. I'm hoping for a real bad
cold snap this winter so I can try out the front seat heaters...

They work REAL well based upon my one winter's experience with my 2006
EXL. Use high for about 5 minutes and then drop it to lo until the car
heats up enough to make you want to take your coat off<g>

I don't know about the rest of you but I am simply amazed at how quickly
my 6cyl starts throwing heat. I start it, let it idle for maybe one
minute and take off running. I live out in the country and I'm getting
heat within 3/4 mi. Love that car.

As for that cold snap... be careful what you wish for<g>
