Default Blind Spot in Coupe? Warnings?
Hey all you lucky people..... I'm getting very close to putting down my hard earned money on a 2001 TT Coupe, and my only hesitation to date is a concern that the rear pillars are a bit wide, possibly causing a blind spot to traffic coming up on the right? I have great visablity in my current sled, and I'm wondering if this is a problem for current owners? Any other warnings in general before I sign the deal? I'm going to be sixty miles from the nearest dealer so I'm hoping not to have a vehicle the needs to be brought in for adjustments too frequently. Thanks in advance for any/all words of wisdom. ...John

Default Just be aware....
Set your drivers and passenger side mirrors far
enough out so you no longer see the rear fender
and for God's sake man...use them!!!
It's a tremendous little car...your satisfaction
will be complete.

I find the visibility to be a challenge. I am slowly getting used to the side mirrors.
