Heated mirrors?
Do UK spec Sportings have heater elements in the mirrors? Handbook refers to them being in some markets. Brochure doesn't mention it, but then we all know the spec sheets can be a little wide of the truth with these cars. Sometimes I swear they clear when I have the heated rear screen on, in rain and spray but I'm not too sure and seeing as we won't have any frost for some time yet I was just curious...

Mine does, as stated, when the rear heated window is used.

Switch the rear window on and see if the mirror glass gets warm

Re: Heated mirrors?
The only GP in the UK not to get heated and electric door mirrors WAS the Active in Mk I form. So Active Sport, Dynamic, Eleganza and Sporting all have them.

Re: Heated mirrors?
If you have heated mirrors, you should be able to feel the heat if you turn them on.
I know I can on my Lancia.
