Yes mirrors and windows are manual. Mirrors are small but they can be little bit smaller and give better visibility. There is no A/C on the car and the power steering does not work but that does not bother me, because I dont need them so much. 90% of that driving was on autobahns and motorways rest 10% was city driving.

I just made second test drive with current tires @ 100 km/h result was 3.0 l/100km. Before the run I also checked tire pressures and they were very low. 3 were at 2 bar and one at 2.5. Now they all are at 3.5 bars or 51 PSI.

I also took 2.5 hour tour in Poland Gdynia and few other small cities near the harbour. The roads werent in perfect condition and you had lots of small cars there. Anyway its was nice to see some other countries also. I also got "robbed" in bakery. The sum was 9.2 local money and they took 4 euros of it. I though that the course was 1€=4 local money? Anyway food was still half the price what it would have cost in Finland.
