You want to level the 2 planes as much as possible. Left turns through intersections, I need to sit up to see over the mirror. Adjust your mirrors as pictured i& you will have proper coverage. You will still need to move your head from time to time though

YMMV


When I adjusted my mirrors like shown in the diagram a few years ago, it was a bit of an adjustment to get used to. But since then, visibility has been great in every car I've driven.
