I use the mirrors a lot and back out VERY SLOWLY if needed. Wait untill it's rainy, the windows are fogged and your in a crowded parking lot (better yet a busy school parking lot). I try to park so I can drive straight out.

I did seriously consider the roadster just for that reason. I really want 3 xfires, a coupe for the quiet, a roadster for summer and a SRT for stoplights.
