The "blind spots" on this vehicle are outrageous. The front seat head restraint are so big it is not possible to look out the drivers side rear window when backing up. I would remove the headrests to make the car safer for others ( the ones you can't see), but they cannot be removed. The deck lid is so high that the rear view mirror shows only one half of the outside - the rest of the mirror shows the interior of the car. The pillar between the rear side windows and the back window is so wide this also obscures the view when backing up. The vehicle is great when going forward, it is a marvel of technology. This is all spoilt when designers take preference over common sense.
