Hi, I'm new to this forum. I have one little question. I'm getting a Z probably with in the next few days. But any ways I used to drive a 02 Celica GT. I thought the blind spot on that car was kinda bad. I've driven a couple Zs the one I'm buying one that I test drove for ****s and gigles and, sat in a couple at car shows. I noticed that the blind spot is even worse. Or maybe because i didnt fully adjust all the mirrors and all ? Well I just wanted to know if it is really that bad. Thanks in advance.

 

yeah its not the greatest. the small window doesnt really provide for much see thru. you get used to it though

 

Thank you for your response. Well I hope I'll get used to it...I dont really wanna put those cheesy blind spot mirrors either =\

 

haha its not THAT bad. its not a uhaul truck or anything. but its okay....

 

lol thanks alot, i guess ill find out soon enough

 

just buy a montor and a back up cam

 

The blind spot is terrible. Spend $1.99 and buy one of those convex mirrors you can stick on the drivers side rearview mirror. You'll get used to it real fast.

 

Be extra careful.

 

With proper mirror adjustment you dont even need to look in that direction.

 

It's not as bad as you think, for me traffic is always behind me anyway i don't need mirrors =D

 

Like most cars, other vehicles to the right-rear can disappear. Buy a 350Z and drive it. If you consider the blind spot serious, return and we will work of adjusting the mirrors. That will help.

 

The blind spot is a pain in the *** and after a year of driving my Z, I wouldn't say it ever get's better you just learn how to deal with it. Backing out of a parking space is a fun game of , "who's going to hit me in the rear right corner", I play it every day. Just back out s l o w and watch out for idiots.

 

normallly in lane changing, you want to pedal to the metal... not alot of ppl can match your speed then merge

 

For the most part, you can see what you really need to see with the side view and rear view mirror. It is a little odd at first and does take some getting used to, though. Backing out of parking spaces is probably the trickiest thing IMO.

 

I'm suprised to hear so many people complaining about the rear-right side!

For me, the rear right-side offers good visibility. Between the passenger window, smaller window in back, and hatch window, I can see almost everything! I also speed up when lane changing, btw.

As for the rear left-side, that is a different story. I cannot see out the smaller window in back unless I lean my head towards the center of the car. First check rearview mirror, then side mirror, then tilt head inwards, check through small window, speed up, and lane change.

All in all, I've adapted pretty quickly. I imaging you will do the same.

 

If I saw a Z with that on the mirror, I'd ***** slap the owner!

 

Once you get the car in a forward gear you're too busy passing people to bother with the side mirrors.

 

i saw some guy with additional mirrors to eliminate blind spots. it looked like a$$ but if you are concerned you might want to look into it.

youre in miami so maybe you can look into the roadster. drop the top and blind spots are gone.

 

The blindspot doesn't really bother me much when I'm driving forward. When I'm in reverse it's a different story. My friend almost got hit by a girl backing out in her 350Z and she put it in gear and drove away and never even saw that she was like inches away from hitting him.

 

The blind spot it bad, but it is easy to ge use to
