My Roadster arrive in two months or so but on my three test drives, I guess I didn't notice much of a problem with the rearview mirror. Does the micromirror improve things that much?
I was finding that the OEM rear view mirror was blocking my view to the front right. There is a four-way stop on the route I drive every day, and it has a slight incline. With that geometry you could hide an entire sedan behind the mirror. Despite trying to be vigilant about this, on occasion I'd miss seeing a car. And that wasn't the only situation where this could be a problem.
I switched to the micromirror, and the problem was eliminated. It's important to be able to see what is behind, but it's even MORE important to see what's in front of you!
You don't lose rearward visibility with the micromirror, although you'll notice that you're seeing parts of the field of view with just one eye. You'll want to carefully adjust it so you have stereo vision directly behind you. It took me about a day to get used to it. Combine it with the multivex side mirrors and IMHO the rear view situation is greatly enhanced compared to the stock configuration. AND you can see better in front.
