blind spot --

EazyD

Side mirrors are to see to the side. Rear-view mirror is to see behind. No reason your side mirrors should see any of the body or behind you, they should be all the way out to the side.

When backing up into a parking space you can move your head so you see the fenders/parking space lines.

Also... I got a back-up camera. really helps with parking and making sure I don't hit any kids walking by. (peace of mind)

I agree. Why would you adjust the side mirrors so they give you the same view as the rear mirror??

In fact, I wish the angle of the side mirror on the Z could go out a bit further more, there is a tad blind spot.

I notice, the side mirrors of European car has a much further outward angle than Japanese car, at least on the Audi, Jag, Bimmer and Mercedes......

i agree, i had 20th anniversary mirrors on my VW GTI and it kinda splits towards the end of the mirror and it gives you this angled view.

i still think everyone should just drive 100mph, youll be flying by everyone which will eliminate the need to look at blind spots.....

it will take a little time to get use to the blind spots. but adjusting the mirrors
all the way out really is the best way for me. but you still have to be very aware of your surrounding's. the worst is backing out of any parking spot.
no way around that............. my main gripe about the mirrors is they look like
nissan stole them from the ford f150's

The only thing you can do about backing out of a parking spot is to reverse into the spot. Or just make sure you're facing forward when driving out of a spot. Pain in the ***, especially angled parking spaces.
