    Why are you dangerous?

    HE's not dangerous, he's implying that YOU are.

    And if you're using your side-view mirrors as rear-view mirrors, then
    you've got them aimed wrongly.

    The one I've seen in a Nissan dealership was fenced off with velvet rope so
    that it could not be approached or, God forbid, touched by prospective
    customers. I'm kinda surprised Nissan didn't market it as an Infiniti in
    the US. They, at least, wouldn't be afraid of customers actually touching
    the car.

  6. Kind of amusing... About the only use for an interior rear view mirror
    is to spot the cop that's chasin' you or the clown about to rear end
    you. In either case, there won't be much that you can do about it.

    I agree, side view mirrors are far more valuable for pertinent information.

    I drive a coupe with rear wiper. It is quite useless.

    The velvet rope might have been an image thing, I guess. Makes the car seem
    that much more desirable. Forbidden fruit, y'know.

    You must not live in an area where the rear window gets dew or rain on it.

    When I drive my wife's Tercel (which is a sedan), I really miss the rear
    view the Integra's rear wiper gives.

    That is a falsehood.
    There is nothing incorrect in the way in which I have my side mirrors
    aimed. It only takes a bit of movement of my head to view everything
    from curb to curb and to the rear in my mirrors. I have been driving
    heavy trucks for decades and not one of them had a rear view mirror (or
    window), no issues in any regards in those vehicles or smaller vehicles.

    In both of those scenarios you mention, the side mirrors will show you
    the vehicle approaching yours.
    They (when adjusted properly) give the driver 100% of the view behind
    and to both sides of his vehicle.
