    Very carefully.

    Went from a subcompact coupe to a “midsize” crossover, and it’s terrifying. Can’t see shit near me because of how high I sit. Can’t see shit next to me because of the big-ass B pillars, and the short window puts the pillar right next to my head.

    The main 2 reasons I switched?

    1: My hybrid coupe was a horrible gas guzzler at 36MPG, the SUV gets 90+ MPGe.

    2: People in big-ass SUVs kept trying to kill me. Hasn’t happened nearly as much since I got a car that would do consequential damage to them if they run into me.

      Get those stick on mirrorlets, that let you see around the B column and right into your blind spot.

      Any mirror from any brand would work, here’s the first link off DuckDuckGo: https://www.autozone.com/safety-and-security/blind-spot-mirror

      They’re a game changer if you have a hard time seeing there. Takes some fiddling to angle them just right, but worth it.
