Blind Spot

I've never once had a blind spot problem when changing lanes or anything with my Z... If your mirrors are set up properly you should essentially have no blind spots.

Blind spots are there. You must just adjust mirrors accordingly, basically pointed where the body of your car is not visible.

Yea i've read that is what you need to do. The question then becomes how do you back into a parking spot straight if you don't have the side of your car as a reference? I guess you would just get used to it

THIS... and I have a backup cam with the runway lanes which help a lot.. I put my mirror in a down position so I can see 50% ground and 50% air where people walk. That way I can see small and large objects easily. Back up slowly and use all 3 mirrors while backing up. The cam is just reassurance that nothing small is behind the car or its perripheral. So this method would work without the camera.

Its really not a problem when you get in the habit.
