Comment on side view mirrors
 
Went from a 05 350 to a 09 370 man what a difference love the car.
My comment is anyone that has owned both cars notice on the 370 the
bigger side view mirrors can block out curbs when making a hard or sharp
left hand turn. Has then been a issue with anyone else.Thanks

At first but you will get used to it!

They used to be a issue but then I hit a pedestrian on a left hand turn and they knocked my mirror off. I've been problem free ever since.

Just picked my 370 up today, previous was an 06 350ZR, my first adverse comment was that the mirrors seem taller not longer as one might expect to kill off some of that blind spot of previous models... Go figure... Taller has to obscure some vision...

Drive a Titan an then complain about forward blind spots, that tiny mirror on my Z is nothing compared the door posts on my Titan.

Image that mirror 2 feet higher on a backward slant...that's the Titan's forward blind spot.

I also have a Titan, Totally agree! ha ha

Another complaint about the Titan, when the shifter is in "D" position it is right infront of the volume knob for radio, you have to reach over gear shirt to use knob!

I just make it a little wide and you will have no worries.

yah, i have a short sitting height so had to raise the seat a little bit to be able to get a better view.

The mirrors are simply too tall, as others have stated. Since they are not setoff from the door (most likely to accommodate the factory electric folding mirror option available elsewhere in the world) they inconveniently block a crucial part of your view when turning in tight places. Too much of a stylistic statement.

i like the 350 mirrors.. lot smaller...

I find for my height(6ft) I have absolutely no problems with mirrors blocking my view.

Someone wil come out with something smaller and more practical.

For now LEARN your blind spots!
