    Default Actual width (including mirrors)

    Oddly I can only find the Volt width spec "w/o" mirrors. I'm guessing the mirrors add about a total of 5" to the quoted width. Anyone know the full width including the mirrors? Thanks.

    Actually I think the Volt mirrors add about 12" of total width. (past the edge of the sidewalls, Just went out and looked at mine....)

    Yeah, I looked closer and now I'd guess 5" each side at least. Funny that GM doesn't show the actual width with the mirrors - they must think it will hurt sales some. Given the extra width with the mirrors I'm surprised power folding mirrors aren't standard.

    I don't care for the little turn signal nubs that sit outboard on the mirrors. Together they must add an additional inch to the car's width. I frequently bump my arm on them in the close quarters of our garage.
