	The front pillars create very large blind spots, especially when turning. the rear view mirrors are not sufficient. due to the upsweep design of back windows the rear pillars create large blind spots when changing lanes. on numerous occasions i have almost wrecked because of this. i will be getting rid of this car due to the very poor and dangerous visibility. *tr
