anybody else find it hard to check the blind spot? the bar between the front/back doors is so thick it covers a good portion of the blindspot

 

Sometimes I do feel that there are some blindspots but then I just do a mirror check with the huge mirrors that come with the car. I feel that if you use the mirrors and do all the neccessary checks, you should be okay. I am not discounting you're claim but I don't share the same observations.

I don't have a problem with the bar in the middle but I do find that there is a slight blind spot in the front window frame when doing turns. I guess it isn't technically a blind spot but when I turn my field of view is sometimes obstructed-a good shoulder check and general awareness of your surroundings should squander any chances of an accident. Plus the side assist helps me out a lot too haha.

 

How to Set Rearview Mirrors to Eliminate Blind Spots - wikiHow

 

every car is gona have blind spots , u could always pick up a drop top .

 

That's why they try to sell you the technology package!

 

I've only been driving mine for 2 weeks, and the Side Assist has proven useful 3-4 times. I scan my mirrors and sides all the time and the tech still managed to be useful. It's a good thing to have - albeit not always necessary.

 

Personally, I find the driver side mirrors to be too big and it actually blocks my sight line when going into a turn. For example, when I make a left hand turn where there is an island/median on the road, I find that when I am half way into the turn the mirror actually blocks my view of the island, or any pedistrian if they are crossing the street.

 

I personally like the huge mirrors. I drove a car with much smaller ones before and they felt cramped. Too bad they don't design the back to be a little more aerodynamic though. There's always bugs/dirt/debris on it after a highway commute for me.
