The one thing I hate about the Z? Horrible rear visibility. Turning left and merging onto traffic at an angle sucks. Aside from that, I love it.

Yea that is sometimes a problem. The blindspot on the right is more troublesome for me. I have adjusted mirrors as far as reasonable and there is still, just a bit, of spot. Gotta pay attention.

But... that's kinda what the Z is all about isn't. It is not a freeway boat. It is a "drivers" car. That's one of the main reasons I bought it.

Really? I guess it depends on how you sit because I too have adjusted my mirrors and totally eliminated my blindspot!

If you're commuting with heavy traffic -- especially in So Cal -- then I highly recommend convex mirrors for your side mirrors.

Yeah I know that your Great Aunt had them on her Coupe De Ville, but they've saved me many times from side swiping idiots who insist on sitting in my blind spot.
