I have no such line of sight problem in by BMW 325ci.

I'm 5'7". My seat is raised to its' highest position. I placed phone book on my seat. The 2 inches solves the problem. However, I think Nissan needs to redesign the side view mirrors or make me taller.

I'm off to purchase a booster seat.
uhhh

maybe you need to learn to drive.

honestly my friend

im about the same height as you and NEVER had anything close to that

I cant imagine how you clipped a stopped car... Its not like the car suddenly appeared from no where. You would have had to have seen it beside you or way ahead of you as you approached it... And the mirror isnt THAT big that it would hide an entire car if you were close enough to clip it. If the car was far away it could block the view of it.

Nissan shouldnt have to redesign anything..
