HS PHEV blindspot

[david lynch]

Is it just me, or is anyone else finding a terrible blind spot up at the pillar and the side mirror , for example going into a roundabout its impossible to see to your right without stretching to look around the mirror . It seems to be a bit of a design fault , if the mirror was about 50mm. lower it would solve the problem just find it a bit irritating

I've moved this to what I think is the appropriate forum. If this isn't the right place, let me know and I'll move it again!

Hi, I have a ZS hybrid. You are exactly right, I have the same problem, and always have to lean forward to see around the post and mirror.

Hi Rolfe. Why have you moved this, it is very relevant to the HS PHEV, to be honest the blind spot on this car is dangerous.

Rolf moved this thread into the HS PHEV forum, was this incorrect?

Sorry Clive, I thought he had done the opposite.

I don't think it matters what car you are driving it is necessary to move your head to see what is hidden behind the A pillars. My previous car was no different.
I don't believe not spotting a cyclist or pedestrian and blaming it on the A pillar would ever get you off the hook with a crash investigator.

I can see what you mean about the HS blind spot with those massive mirrors right where you need to see out of the front side window, we have no such problem with the MG4, we have a small 1/4 window in front of the door mirror, which is perfect for seeing roundabouts.
