Serious? Don't get a Z....

It is the size of two tractor trailors!

Two seaters have limited visibility, you just have to adjust your mirrors to
eliminate the blind spots on the hwy. The only blind spot you can't
completely eliminate is the one when backing up, just go real slow and pay
close attention to your environment.

If you adjust your mirrors properly and pay attention to drivers around you, you will not have a problem.

You deserve a rep point for being courteous. A rarity amongst newer nissan owners.

Blind spot is no big deal. If you are riding without a passenger in the car, recline the passenger seat so that you can see through the rear quarter window.

Also use the circular convex mirrors that you can get at Target for $2.99 each. Stick them in the outside bottom corners of your side mirrors and then you've got ALL your rearward and side views covered.
