Visibility

One downside to the new design is reduced visibility. The gunslit windows and thick pillars look modern from outside, but once you sit down the view is decidedly pinched in every direction. The windshield is far from the driver, which means you’re looking out over a big flat dash top and that the windshield pillars intrude. The rearmost pillars are about two feet thick, creating massive blind spots to the rear. We actually found ourselves wishing for a reverse camera on this otherwise small and maneuverable car. At least the outside mirrors are decently sized.
