One of the disadvantages of small sport cars is the outward view through small windows and the Nissan 350Z is no exception. A small back window limits the view out the rear view mirror and large c-pillars complicate the issue, creating blind spots at both rear corners that can hide an 18-wheeler. Reliance on side mirrors is a must and thankfully the view down the sides is clear thanks to well-designed side mirrors. From the low seating position, the driver doesn't even see the hood out front making judging distance for curbs and other obstacles difficult.
