I don't use my side view mirrors to find out if someone is in the lane next to me. I use them to continuously scan around my vehicle at all times. If and when I decide to make a lane maneuver, I already know exactly where the cars are in the next lane and that there is a spot for me to move into. I take one last check in my side view mirrors to make sure someone didn't change lanes into the spot I'm looking to take. Properly set up, you should have virtually no blind spots in your mirrors.

If you're afraid of blind spots, get one of these

What blind spots?
The only issue I have and its not really an issue is looking far back with the rearview mirror isn't possible because of the angle of the mounting location and the rear window makes the view on a slight downward angle.

noobs... Dont need to worry about blind spot...
step 1- get your some loud @$$ non res cat back exhaust!
step 2- learn how to down shift like a pro.
step 3- very important.. learn to become a douche bag like most bmw 3 series owner

now combine those steps when ever you need to merge/switch lanes

IMO Ford has the market cornered now. These mirrors are on like all of their recent vehicles and they are amazing.

I'm not knocking Craft Square. I just know that for blind-spot mirrors, having them built in, like the Fords, is awesome. I had them on my Focus, quite handy, and my wife even complimented them! She is not a car person at all, so getting any kind of positive reaction is a plus.

yah, im sure they are very functional. if they could rid the line like modern bifocal glasses that would be even better.
