every car I have driven I have been able to adjust the mirror so that I can see cars beside me right up until they are in my peripheral vision.

Only thing is it is a tiny bit harder to back up using the mirros because you have no view of your own car, unless you contort to see (which is what I do) and it works great.

 

Adjusting the stock mirror as far as it would go to the left did not do it for me. There was still a place where a car could "hide". The convex mirror fixed this (for me).

 

I think it depends on the size of the driver. I can adjust my mirrors so there is no blind spot. I tested this by having someone walk around my car while I sat in the driver's seat. I never lost sight of that person. Maybe a convex mirror would still be an improvement though? I'll have to take a seat in xviper's car and take a look around.

I'll bet though, that there are a lot of driver's that can't do this because of where they need to sit based on their size. If you can't, then the convex mirror is a no-brainer.

 

as anyone ordered from Muz? Are they in Australia?!

How's the shipping rate? I need one of these mirrors bad. I'm 5'11" and I sit about two notches from all the way back. I can't see crap from the driver's side mirror. The hard top helps a lot, but I know i'll need this in the summer w/ the softie.

 

This is where most of us got this mirror.

 

That's not really relevant. It's the length of your torso that matters.
