In my opinion the blind spot issue is GROSSLY exaggerated by only a minimal amount of owners. In the end, it just boils down The Z isn't a car for everyone. These are drivers cars and maybe small sciences of driving aren't a skill everyone has. cars like the genesis coupe are awesome for the sport car driving novice due to an airy cabin that's solid and free of most road noise,also, the rear sloped window allows for minimal mirror adjusting by giving your a insta-view of the rear with the twist of your neck. The Z causes you to lean forward and sideways to look behind you and using the mirrors to eliminate blind spot takes someone with a good eye and understanding how the mirrors magnify. I think its your driving confidence in the Z with the generally blocked view more than the mirrors you are concerned about.

Maybe the z was the wrong car brother?
Well i disagree with you brother..there is a serious blind spot on the right rear and adding additional vision on the left is always a plus..but not if the object is reduced in size as the case with a convex mirror..
