(wound up buying a toyota) at least the c6 has the wrap around glass that makes it more tolerable. i wish i could test drive the vehicle to get a better perspective of things. sitting in the car i try to envision being on the road looking side to side and in the rear view mirror just seemed a bit difficult. i welcome all opinions, thank you.

However that was based on having a wide view in the rear view center mirror. With the C7 you don’t. Did not use a blind spot mirror on my C6 which I had for 6 years (nor my ’93 or ’87) but I added one to the C7! It works great especially on the driver’s side. Set the mirrors to see far out as described by the SAE paper but you lose perspective of what you’re seeing relative to the C7. Look at the small blind spot oval glass mirror and you see both. At night the driver side mirror as well as the center mirror darken. The spot mirror does not and is small enough to not create excess glare. If you see a bright light use caution! With this addition and learning to use all mirrors I am very comfortable driving on the highway.

Each of us has an opinion and that is mine.
