THIS WAS MY BIGGEST ISSUE ON MY TEST DRIVES.
The back lil window isn't good for nothing.
Lean forward n look back is wat I do. BUUUUT!

I have A SOLUTION AND I WILL SHARE IT WITH YOU!
Works really well. Had it on my G35.

Also u can use the small mirror if u need for added protection. The sell this square one that works a lot better than the standard round ones. Its a lil smaller n covers more area.
My advice as well is. Instead of the dumb rear fog light put a back up warning at minimum. Or intergrate a rear view camera.
When we drive high horsepower sports cars we need to be double cautious.
Though we may be really confident with our driving skills. We don't wanna endanger anyone.
Especially since u can't see anything under almost 4ft tall and at a not so far distance
Its the seating vs the angle of the back window that makes it so hard.
The good news though. There's 3 good combined solution to 1 extremely dangerous problem.

:iagree:
I may add that when you back up from a drive way or a paring stall between cars on either side back up very slowly. Like you would normally do. Due to the famous blind spot on your passenger side. Like others have mentioned always look to your right or left before changing lanes but again that's common sense in any car. good luck and if you really need to use a mirror like the tacky blind spot mirrors that out there then go for it.

Me personally. I think the small round mirror is annoying. But they make a blind spot mirror that I don't own but have seen and tried in a friends car and it has a better rear view. Its a panoramic rectangular smaller mirror called the MAXVIEW BLINDSPOT MIRROR.
So if u do use them? You might actually prefer this type. Its less intrusive.

I'm 5'6" so when I first drove the 370Z I was a little taken by surprise by the limited visibility out the rear. After adjusting my passenger side mirror way out and similar with the driver side mirror, I find little problem when combining first turning and looking combined with use of mirrors. It just takes a little getting used to.

I second that thing about backing up VERY slowly. Rear visibility is horrible, especially for a car that small. Today I went to the gym. When I came out, a jeep liberty was parked to my right. Backing out, I could see literally NOTHING on the right side. I just held my fingers crossed, said a few hail marys, backed up EXTREMELY slow, and hoped I don't hit anything. I think from now on I will reverse into parking spots, so when I exit I do it face first. Strange as it may seem, I feel far more comfortable reversing in a full sized chrysler intrepid that is twice as big as the z.
