Also visibility to the rear and right rear would seem to be limited again due to the small rear window and outside mounted spare tire as well as the rather large pillar behind the side rear doors. Although I have sat in one in the showroom, I have not had the opportunity to test drive one yet to really check it out. I would welcome any comments on these concerns. Thanks.

The visibility issue was there at first front and rear but I quickly got use to it. I think it made me a better driver.

The little convex mirrors on the outside ones are a good suggestion. I haven't done that yet myself but others have and they say it helps.
