If you see your rear fenders in your mirrors, they are not adjusted properly.
Once the mirrors are adjusted properly it's not really an issue.

I agree - However, backing out of a parking spot with a SUV next to you can be challenging in any car.

In any vehicle, the blind spot can be entirely eliminated. This is how you do it:
Go to some residential area where cars are parked on the side of the road. Act as if that car is in the next lane, either left or right. Then move so that the car is in your blind spot. Stop the car. Adjust your mirrors to have the car fully inside your mirrors. Usually, this means moving the right-hand side mirror almost all the way out. I have mine to it's maximum right position. Another trick you can use(although not as good), is to lean over to the middle of the dash, and adjust the mirror so that you can no longer see your car. For the drivers side, move right next to the window, and do the same things. This works, and is especially useful in SUV's. However, a little different strategy is used. Because the mirrors are so far out, you will not be ablew to see far behind you. So you have to use your rearview mirror as well. The ideal configuration is that when the car starts moving out of your rearview mirror, it starts moving into your sideview mirrors, and when it starts moving out of your sides, you can see it through your peripheral vision.
