If I had to choose between electric mirrors or electric windows I think I’d choose mirrors, on the grounds that the only window I need to open is the drivers one, and an old fashioned crank operated one is easy enough and probably quicker. But adjusting a passenger side mirror by hand is a right pain. The joystick adjusters helped a little, but electrically adjusted ones were a game changer!
I have vague memories that one of my Fathers cars had an electric passenger mirror and manual drivers one…but I can’t remember which one. Probably German though, as back in the day they were notoriously stingy with kit. I recall an Audi 100 (Cd .30…) with wind up windows all round, and several BMWs that didn’t come with stereos as standard. Come to think of it, I don’t think the Volvo 740 did either…because the pioneer stereo in that was transferred to the subsequent BMW.
