Sweet! If I can open/close the mirrors fast enough, maybe it'll get off the ground before shorting out the electronics!

Giant mirrors can most definetely be a problem in NYC-type traffic. I drive in Manhattan 2/3 days a week and what you are saying is correct. Pedi-cabs too - hate 'em!!! Limited side clearance passing double parked FedEx trucks, etc. - a nice way to destroy your new vehicle's mirrors or spend five minutes each block waiting for the driver to return - lol!!!

I've tried to open and close them while driving, they'll open but they won't close! i wanted to see if i'd get better gas mileage at higher speeds!


i always say if you can drive in NYC you can drive anywhere! (at least in the US) especially a vehicle that is a bit challenging. unlike a little civic or something

I hope I can swap them out when they come out with new ones, which I am sure will be smaller. The size of the mirrors just doesn't make any sense. I was parked next to an odyssey and yes my mirrors were bigger than the mirrors on a minivan!

Forget the fact that it reduces my blind spot, the mirrors are so big that I can see the blind spots for the car behind me!

The big mirrors is my only major design complaint. I have to actually sit up to look over the mirror when making a left-hand turn. It will take some time to get used to this and I am really worried about my wife trying to see around them. They are too large regardless of what the truckers say.

For those of you who complains about the large mirror, is this your 1st SUV?

Flask

No, I had a BMW X5 which had much better visibility around the mirrors. Of course, that is the only thing that was much better on the BMW :-)

I like em! If you ever drive a pickup truck you will understand big mirrors :P
