Default Really enjoying Driving the car but...

....the side mirrors seem to be a bit small. Compared to my 996 and 997, the field of view is tiny always leaving a blind spot. Is it just me or others have noticed? The mirror formfactor is much nicer on the 997...

If that's the worst part, I'm going to be one happy camper...

You really need to play with the mirrors a bit. I have the passenger side in a fairly normal position for me. On the driver's side I have it turned in a bit to aid in seeing what is 'close' behind me. The manual night dimming device, sometimes called the wing, tends to hide close objects.

Sides are good for me. It is the wing that bothers me on the rear-view.
