Ok, I had had my Passion since Saturday. It is my habit to take a glance over my right shoulder before changing lanes. I do keep the r/h. mirror out wide, but still take that look.. and see nothing but seat. It FEELS like a blind spot to me. I was researching a camera/display add-in but haven't seen one I like.
And for a REAL hack, how about REMOVING the external mirrors and replacing them with tiny cameras on stalks. Note that cameras do not require re-positioning for different drivers. This would reduce the drag co-efficient of the car. I have no way to judge whether this would significantly improve mileage, but I have read about a guy doing this on his Honda Insight.
The other habit I am having to deal with is reaching up to the right of the steering column for the ignition! Eventually I'll learn to stop that.
and by the way.. I LOVE it..
I have a smart Passion with the comfort package. The temperature has been getting down into the teens here and those heated seats are the best darn thing since sliced bread!
I kind of wish I had ordered the extra instruments but the additional expense of them as a dealer installed option means I am going to do without. The car handles very nicely, seems very solidly built and is very comfortable.
