nobody's perfect, and everyone has blind spot close calls. take a test drive and see how you feel about it.

personally, i find the right passenger side mirror pretty much useless. from the driver's seat angle, i can't even see much of the actual mirror unless i lean over. it's got to be a look over the shoulder consistently.

Thats the key right there. Is it really that big of a deal?

yeah, it sort of is. as i said, it's up for debate as to whether the extra effort is manageable.

in my opinion (and in CA traffic), having to lean my body to the right just to see more than a third of the right mirror can be a pain in the ***.

it's cool that you're cool with the extra effort required to check blind spots in the car. and yes, if we wanted a full 360 degree panoramic view of the road, we should roll in mini-vans. i'm 100% willing to deal with the limited visibility.

with that said, it's fair to point out to the OP that checking blind spots in the z takes more effort than it does in other cars.
