The driver's side mirror does not adjust far enough out to completely eliminate blind spots. All other vehicles that I've driven allow the side-view mirror to adjust outwards far enough that the blindspot is completely eliminated. The Impreza mirror adjusts out to a certain extent and then "bounces" because it has reached it's limit. This limit is not sufficient to eliminate the blindspot.

I have noticed that it is simply not possible to adjust the driver-side rearview mirror outward enough to be able to properly see vehicles which could be in my side blind spots, and this feels incredibly unsafe. I'm happy that the car has blind spot detectors on the mirrors, but that is no substitute for visibility. In addition, I don't believe the lower trim levels have blind-spot detectors. I am 6'3', which is on the taller side, but still, I am not the only one experiencing this problem and I have never had this problem in any other vehicle I've driven. Other owners are also unable to adjust their side mirrors to the sae and aaa recommended positions. L can't believe that the vehicle was allowed to be designed and produced with these mirrors! this is a terrible flaw in the design, and in my opinion, should be re-designed, fixed for the 2017 year, and a safety recall should be performed for already-produced vehicles.
