I hadn't really had a problem, but I've only had my car 3 days! It's only slightly more limited in the blind spot area than my previous car, also a 2-door coupe. You can adjust your mirror to cover most of the blind spot. I have no real problem seeing directly out the back, though.

Considering the size of the back light, the view is somewhat limited. I have tried adjusting my seat but am unable to improve my view. The rear view does not bug me much tho as I have learned to compensate with side view rather easily after 1 week.
Justa note more... I guess it is the price we pay for having an absolutely fantastic Coefficient of drag... and that low drag being designed so perfectly into a motor vehicle is worth most inconveniences.

my problem with the back view is that it is angled down, I can see, but only maybe 20 feet behind me, and then it cuts off. tought to see whos behind you. but yeah, the side mirrors get the job done. and now with the 5% tint back there, it dont matter anyway, I cant see much.

The best way to deal with the rear-view is to accelerate through holes in the traffic.
The only time I look in the rear view is when I'm doin' double-digits to look for porky....

I am 6'4" so I think that doesn't help either. I was not even able to see above the bumper of the car behind me till I realized that you can improve the view quite a bit by tilting it up so that half of the field of view is used up looking at the roof of the Z, that tilt really helps see much further behind you.
