For context: I'm a driver with thirty-plus years of driving experience and a spotless driving record. I have driven cars, pickup trucks and SUVs. I also have truck/bumper-pull trailer towing experience including above average skills moving a trailer in reverse. With years of experience navigating mid-Atlantic/east coast highways with living cargo, I have both extensive mileage and an excessive mind and eye for safety.

The window post blind spots in this car are simply horrible and managed best and only by supreme driver vigilance. After you scare the living daylights out of yourself a few times after losing an entire vehicle the size of a garbage truck or that entire family in a crosswalk does one really start to understand that it was not "just me" trying to acclimate to a new car. I'm at 58k-plus miles. five years, zero incidents, many scares and gray hairs later, and I haven't dropped my guard yet. You need to look like a bobbing weaving idiot in your cockpit before feeling safe enough to change lanes at highway speed - god forbid it's three lanes or more, or an urban haven with tons of turns in pedestrian meccas. Not a good first car for anyone who has not been driving long enough to develop sound defensive driving awareness and habits!

I never noticed this when I test drove the vehicle, but you can't f*cking see out out of the blind spot over your shoulder when changing lanes.

It has the worst blind spot of any car I have ever driven . If I could have driven this car for a week before I bought it , I would never have bought it . Worst car I have ever owned and the problems just keep growing ...

It sits in my driveway and I am afraid to drive it ... I am stuck with a $26,000 debt that is useless to me and the resale from what I have seen is less than $12,000 2 years later ...

Elantra GT 2.0L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 1,200 miles

I cannot see out to the sides due to the BLIND spot created by the HUGE/WIDE roof supports and chunky side mirrors.

They block pedestrians as well as other cars, bicycles and pets.

The roof supports are too wide. Must be made smaller/thinner and adjust the angle of the front windshield so there is easier visibilty.
