Another confirmed Edmunds autoscribe not reading the owner's manual and finding features by "accident."

Is there any way to change the setting besides navigating a bunch of menus? Personally I find the tilt a hindrance more than a help, in most circumstances (parallel parking being the key exception). BMW does this right...a toggle switch on the door turns the tilt on and off, so you can switch views during the parking event.

Agreed, I think. I generally hate this feature and turn it off whenever possible. But once in a great while I like it, and the buried nature of the toggle on this car is a PITA. Props for separate street and curbside settings. I do park parallel at home, so I might be more tolerant of it on that side.

@diigii: Second paragraph, read it:

"I didn't think the Corvette had this feature, but when I was looking up something else in the surprisingly slim owner's manual, I discovered that the mirrors would indeed tilt. Hurray!"

This is when I hate multi-function menu based systems. On my Acura if you want the passenger mirror to tilt you switch the mirror control from neutral (middle) position to right if you want both to tilt you switch to the left. If you don't want them to tilt at all you leave it in the middle off position.
