Driver's Side Front Roof Pillar & Visibility

[YarisSedan]

Just be glad you dont have a sedan. You cant see anything. Extreme blind spot. I had to buy one of those broadway convex mirrors. Now i have no blind spots =)

I think I'll be picking up a few of those stick-on blind spot mirrors for the outside side-view mirrors, but it's mostly just the thickness and position of that down-slanting pillar that drives me nuts. That, and if I could get one more backward travel notch out of the driver's seat. But, these are things I'll live with. If that's the only things that come up, I'll be thrilled.

Do you have neck problems? I don't find my sedan any worse than other 4 door vehicles. Perhaps this is because I'm accustomed to driving heavy trucks which of course have now centre rear-view mirror view. This forces one to use the side mirror properly and be more aware of the surrounding traffic.
That said, there is one off ramp / left turn where my vision to the right is obstructed by the passengers head rest and door pillar. Not a biggy as I'm stopped there anyway. Aside from that one case I really don't find any other glaring vision shortcomings. I do enjoy our sedans extra large side mirrors. Almost truck-like.
