| The front pillars creat 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. | |||

| This car has large blind spots caused by both the left and right front pillars. the positioning of the rear view mirror only makes the right blind spot larger as there is only the space from the bottom of the mirror to the right pillar to view outside of the car. as a result, i almost hit someone crossing the street from my right to my left. thankfully, i saw them in time to apply my brakes. this happens frequently with this car. and, at intersections where there is a four-way stop or, when i am entering the lane, i can often not see a car coming from either direction. i fully anticipate that this car will be involved in numerous accidents. the elantra driver will be at fault but no one will look to this defect in the car as the problem. | |||

| I have had two windshields cracks in a 6 week period of time. the diameter of the impact on the intial impact on 11/911 was the size of a pea and left a horizontal crack that was about 12. the second impact, on another brand new windshield, left an impact the size of a pin head and a crack 18 long. i believe these are defective windshields, i did not even hear the impact on the second windshield. by the time i saw the crack and parked my car the crack was almost 6 long. | |||
