I drive my Z around the city and have nearly run over pedestrians or hit cross traffic a number of times at 4-way stops due the position of the center rear view mirror. It's just large and in the perfectly right (or wrong) spot to block a glance for cross traffic from the right.

Adjusting your seat to see under a mirror is the wrong thing to do. You adjust your seat for proper driving position (pedal distance, steering wheel reach, etc), not to see below a center mirror. Compromising proper driving position during 99% of your driving experience to improve vision during 1% of the time is dangerous. I just duck my head when checking for cross traffic now.
