Rearview mirror = FAIL

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry, but this is the ONLY thing that I do not LOVE about my car and want to make you all aware of the issue.
The interior mirror is about 2X as tall/thick as it needs to be and creates a MAJOR BLIND SPOT (that I didn’t even think about being there.)
I can see several inches of my headliner and seats… I only need to see out the rear window.
The mirror could have been much much smaller and done the job… maybe I can get a smaller one from GMPP because it has OnStar in it.
I have litterally pulled up to a 4-way stop and NOT seen a ford explorer that was to my right. (yes, an SUV)
And also, isnt it supposed to auto dim on the 2SS??? (The outside one does.)
I have a picture but it looks comically exaggerated… I'll try to take another more lifelike tonight if someone wants.

BEWARE.

BTW GM, windshield space is a PREMIUM on this car, please move OnStar buttons somewhere else.

Other than that, I LOVE the car.

HMMM, this certainly has not been an issue for me. I'll have to remember to make a conscious effort to see what your talking about. I just have not noticed this at all.

good review of the mirror. I will keep that in mind once mine comes in.

Too many to list but none have this issue.

It's just way too big for the space

6'1'' and not that big of an issue to me; took about .02 seconds to get used to... :iono: ;) And mine does auto-dim.

Yeah, I think it's more of an individual thing. I have had my car since 4/26 and I have not even remotely thought about it.
