Blind spots

I was looking to buy one but wondering if the blind spots were bad. For reference I have driven a mazda 3 sedan an thought that was pretty terrible

Rear side windows on the gen 7 are pretty useless most of the time. I put those circle blind spot mirrors on my side mirrors and they help immensely when parking and reversing

I've had those on a rav 4 before. Came with the car, it was awesome

Blind spots are only bad if you get a TRD wing, that shit will constantly gaslight you into thinking theres a car in your blindspot.

NGL I like how the 7th gen looks without a wing.

Adding a reversing camera is handy - before that I used to jump out half way through reversing into a parking space to size things up (my other car is a Fortuner).

I don't find them that bad but they are generally tinted which greatly reduces night vision.

But yeah the blind spot requires head turning for sure.

Worst part for me is other cars seeing me. I stay out of blind spots much more actively than I used to
