Blind spots on 2008 TT 3.2 Quattro coupe

Anyone experience significant blind spots on above model because of the rear roof pillars. Read this on 3 websites: yahoo/autos expert reviews,edmunds

You still sit low in the TT, and the thick rear roof pillars create significant blind spots for the driver.

Visibility is good to most angles, but there is a notable blind spot to the right rear in coupes

Thanks, Won't be ordering until October 2008.

Re: Blinds spots come with the territory (sports cars). You get use to it!

Thanks, I had a '68 corvette conv, '72 MGB conv and have a Datsun 280ZX hatchback since 1980. I didn't notice any blindspots.

Since my future TT coupe will be under warranty for 4 yrs with Audi Care and an extended warranty after that, how can I put on wide mirrors. Audi doesn't want you to add any 3rd party parts. Where can I get wide mirrors?

10/19/07 Just yesterday noticed blind spot on my ZX, guess I got used to it since 1980. Thanks to all.
