Read this post....if you set your mirrors correctly, all blindspots will go away.

TC's blindspots aren't too bad. The right side is a little annoying at times but not as bad as a del sol's blind spot.
You can't see nothing ahhaha =(

you can do the same thing without any other cars, (you can do it in your garage)
put your head over next to the window glass on the left and adjust your mirror out until you can just see a little bit of the side of your car. do the same for the right mirror, just move your head into the middle of the car .

yeah i notice the a pillar can hide things if you are turning at a slight angle. i still check my blind spots even if i can see them in the mirror. good habit to have i guess

I have to go through 2 traffic circles on my way to work everyday. When I test drove the tC for a day I swear I though I was going to hit someone becasue the A-pillar blocks everything in the circle. The stock wing takes up most of the rear view mirror space to, which is why I didn't get it.

I was impressed with the over-the-shoulder view though. I could see a lot more than in my maxima. I don't depend on my mirrors for anything. I always turn and look.
