Do you hate your tiny side view mirrors?
�

I am seriously thinking of ordering the larger side view mirrrors from Japanparts.com.
These side view mirrors are much too small? Has anyone swapped theirs out?
This is my biggest gripe about my WRX....

No complaints here.

I don't think they are too small. I've had cars including my SVT Focus which are smaller. I was thinking of getting smaller ones for my 04.
| nashcarr | 12-31-2006 09:28 AM |
How did you like your SVT Focus. I had a 2004 I bought brand new that was the biggest lemon, fun cars handling wise but very underpowered!
i could tell you horror stories about that LEMON!

I have no complaints on mine. And I used to drive a S10 and I have a Chevy work truck, both have HUGE side mirrors.
Although visiblity isnt the best, I'll gladly take a more areodynamic and better looking mirror over something overly sized....

I can see just fine. Once you get used to the cars dimensions it's no problem to drive IMO.

Try using the APR mirrors.

It's been a good daily driver. Got 107,000 miles in it in 2 years and 4 months. Bought it used with 10,000 miles on it. It was a dealer buy back / Lemon Law car but the problem was just a loose hose the dealer could never find. Only problems were ignition cylinder which just went bad this month, intake manifold issue around 60,000, 1st brake job around 57,000. All else just fine. And since it was a dealer buy back I got great deal.

I don't even look in my side mirrors that often...rearview and shoulder checks for me. :p
| Ryan314 | 12-31-2006 10:44 PM |
^ Same. I don't think I ever use my passenger side mirror lol.

I've always thought my '02 mirrors were more than adequate in size. They're even nicer with the Accurit mirrors I have on them - blue tint and blind spot feature FTW :banana:
| Counterfit | 01-01-2007 12:56 AM |
I'd rather have too small (can't see behind you) than too big (can't see what's at the apex of the corner right in front of your left front wheel) like my father's Rendezvous. :furious:
| AWD>FWD | 01-01-2007 01:37 AM |
Yeah, I have had zero problems with mine.
| drees | 01-01-2007 01:46 AM |
Side view mirrors are fine with me, I wish they were a bit smaller and more aero myself.

their just about right for me,
| bolderer | 01-01-2007 11:14 AM |
No problems here. 20/20 vision doesn't hurt either.

+1 for giant S10 side mirrors. I miss those so much. Granted, I miss nothing else about owning a GM product, but at least it's something.
It took me forever to get used to the Subaru's mirrors, but they 're ok, I guess. I've dealt with worse.

....I guess I'm NOT crazy :huh: --------I thought it was a joke, too.
Maybe when ya reclined so far back that ya half in the back seat when ya drive, ya can only see a bit of the mirror.....and just think they are small :confused:

No not a joke, the mirrors are too small, not that I want S10 big though, just a little bigger......ease on up Uncle Scotty...

What is "too small" about them? Too narrow, too short?
I think they're alright, but if it bothers you go for an upgrade.

I think they are plenty large. Maybe you don't have them adjusted properly?

Either that or his seating position is wrong....

I want to slap people when I see them doing that. You don't need 20+� on your seatback outside of a single seater or F-16.
| jmanrex | 01-02-2007 02:46 PM |
the ones from japanparts.com are for righthand drive cars--so be careful--if you are complaining now that you can't see--you will really have a problem when you order them
talk to graham from japanparts first before you order
