big mirrors?

Is it just me (becuase I'm only like 5'8") or does the g37 have oversized mirrors that block a lot of your view. I have owned two other cars, z32, and an amg and I have not complained once about the mirrors blocking my view. Some of my friend agree with me on this...

I've found the whole a pillar, tweeters combo can block the view while cornering, not too bad but still more noticeable than any of my previous cars
I'm 5'8" too so lol if it's just us

Buy a pair of two inch stick on convex mirrors to help with the blind spot. They work great and cost no more than $3 at your local auto store. I got them on mine. Stick them in the outer bottom of each mirror.

at least two people read my post correctly...

guys im not talking about not being able to see objects in the mirror, im talking about the actual mirror unit being so big that every time I take a corner im scared I will hit an old lady trying to cross the street.

You are allowed to move your head around to see that old lady you're about to hit. Unless you're telling me you're a) just that lazy or b) cornering too fast...

I think the visibility is decent, particularly compared to some other vehicles I've driven. It could be better, but nothing I' have a complaint with.
