Even my 1996 Esteem has these : Go over 60 km/h and the outside mirrors fold in automatically

but can any one beat my sisters M800's auto folding mirror at speed of 30kmph

They're electronic with the Optra and Corolla, not automatic. You still have to push a button.

Took the C out for a weekend drive, last saturday. Gosh, if you guys thought it was impressive on the expressway (where it killed an Auto Hangar C200 K in a 0 - 200), you should check it out on a regular highway. Took only 2.5 hours to reach Nasik in the evening. And the in-gear acceleration, which is a must to overtake on our highways, is outright dominating! Adding butter is the ability to revv like a petrol until 4800 rpm. You can use gaps to overtake that are next to impossible in the Vtec.

4000 RPM and climbing:

Check my mother smiling. She loves it when I am driving and will always plonk herself in the front seat.

Simpler pleasures of life. My sister and I @ Dhaba Chai.
