Default Limited View?

I read some reviews, people saying that looking out the rear view is very limited. Is this true?

Yeah the rear window is kinda small. I have only sat in one not driven it so I don't know how big a deal it really is.

I found that the blind spots in the front were the hardest to deal with. I actually found myself craning my neck to look around the A-pillars. Aside from that, I really didnt have much trouble seeing out the back window but I'm also used to looking at a roll bar obstructing about 50% of the view on my bird.

rear window is ok, you have to watch the A pillars, review mirror hangs low and the B pillars obstruct alot, you cant look over your shoulder when you change lanes, you have to use your mirrors
