I am so glad to see the 2009 has folding mirrors. Their lack would have been a deal killer for me. I was planning to email something smart (removed) to Pontiac like "congratulations on selling another Mazda 3" if the mirrors did not fold.
Currently have a 200 Mazda Protege ES and plan to replace it with a Vibe GT, Matrix XRS or a Mazda 3 5 Door Touring.
I was at the dealer again today and confirmed that the mirrors do fold in. They will not fit an 08 or earlier. The beltline is straight across on 08's and earlier. The 09 beltline sweeps upward at the front edge of the door and the mirror housing follows the sweep.

My comment would have be directed toward the Vibe's marketing team on if they has stupidly chosen non folding mirrors they would have guartned I would be buying a Mazda 3 instead of making a hard choice between the 3 and Vibe.
