The factory rearview mirror's height from the floor/ceiling cannot be adjusted, and since I am six feet tall, the mirror's position blocks a large fraction of my forward vision. The mirror can completely hide a car traveling or merging in a lane to the forward right of my vehicle. Also, I have to scrunch down to look under the mirror in order to make a safe right-hand turn. I will be replacing the mirror with one that has two pivot-points so that its height can be adjusted, and I wish the government would encourage Honda and all manufacturers to use mirrors that can be repositioned so as not to block the vision of taller drivers.
