#1 of 3 Blind Spot by gblammo Jun 30, 2009 (6:05 pm)
I test drove a 2009 Edge today and found the blind spot created by the A-pillar on the left to be quite annoying. The vehicle is otherwise perfect for my needs, but I am concerned that this may be a continual annoyance. Has anyone else here found this to be a problem? Does it just take some getting use to? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: cmarcus (Jun 30, 2009 6:39 pm) dapone (Jul 31, 2009 12:07 pm)

Replying to: gblammo (Jun 30, 2009 6:05 pm) I haven't found that pillar to be too much of a problem since the side view mirrors are so wide. I have however found that those wide side view mirrors hinder my vision of the front driver side of the vehicle. For instance, if I'm making a left turn across traffic, I cannot see how close I am to the median or curb.
