Default 5 panel panoramic mirrors

Any thoughts or opinions on these 5 panel mirrors? Apparently they show all blind spots. Does anybody know any good brands if there are any?

That link should be called, "How to set your mirrors like you're doing it wrong".

It definitely takes a second to get used to the 50/50 split, and having less car body to reference, but the increased field of view is well worth it.

I suppose it makes sense if you're wearing a HANS device and are incapable of head movement.

Still do a headcheck, but why not have your mirrors optimally adjusted all the time? It takes like a day to get used to it and then you're golden.

Mine are optimally adjusted. Mine aren't like that.

I agree with cobra, but I also just went and got one of those concave round mirrors, stuck it in the corner of my of my outside mirrors, and now i see everything.



Why automakers haven't come up with a slight concave surface to OEM mirrors is beyond me. Would be a simple modification that would give everyone a better view of what's around them. Honestly, I'd rather have that then a damn electronic blind spot warning.

Just drive faster than everyone else, then there's no need for mirrors.
