only thing is the blind spot as others are saying. I mean it's not that bad if you are careful, but I had a few occasion that I almost crashed a few cars that were in my blind spots. But Z's powerful acceleration, braking and perfect handling saved me! :)

I am in the camp that thinks blind sports are from not setting the mirrors correctly. I'm a fraction shy of 6'. Seat adjustment has a lot to do with good vis as well. I sit slightly reclined to even the plane of the rear mirror & rear window. This helps a lot for vis. Picture this angle / trying to see out of this --- angle, It does not work very well. 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
:iagree:

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.

I DD mine and cant fault the car. Visibility is something you get used to but the steering rack and turning circle are fine for parking. Unlike alot of performance cars the Z can be very tame and controlled when you need it to be which also helps!

I would recommend looking at these http://www.the370z.com/body-interior...eady-ship.html (the side view mirror stick on). Not to expensive and you get great visibility.

FYI got DD roadster w/ those mirrors :)

Be extra careful with lane changes and back out of spaces very slowly. other than that, you will get used to it.

I'm 5' 11", when I first drove I had a hard time with merging on the right side, now i have adjusted the mirror plus I turn my head and look out the back window. You can see everything through that window. I just purchased the KENWOOD CMOS-310 CAR AUDIO REAR VIEW REVERSE BACK UP CAMERA on ebay for $248 and 2009 Nissan 370Z Navigation Video Unlock Adapter for $ 209 on ebay. Im gonna take it to an audio shop and have them installed.

That's what I got and it works as well as the factory cameras I have had in the past.

Yes I have my mirrors set where I eliminate my blindspots. Backing out of tight spaces (especially when there are trucks next you) is usually just luck. Every time I back out, I pray and creep back.

Better yet, just google "rear view" and click on "Images." You'll have hours of entertainment at your fingertips.
