rear view mirror obstructing view forward

UNKNOWN_370 · 03-03-2012, 12:57 PM

The mirror size is TERRIBLE. Very intrusive to the right. I don't know why the Z needs pick up truck sized side mirrors. Sometimes I feel like retrofitting the Altima 3.5 mirrors. My accident with the silver Z I patrially contribute it to the size of the mirrors. Also if you had an 09 Z the A pillar is more round and looks wider than the Z's of later. So nissan knows the right side has a huge obstruction.

The discussion is about forward view with the central rearview mirror. Not about the side mirrors...they've been discussed and complained about since the car was released. And the Z needs huge side mirrors because it has huge blind spots.

My bad... then No, I don't have an issue with the forward rear view mirror.
