Consumer Description

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN DEC OF 06 AND ONE MONTH INTO HAVING THIS CAR AND DRIVING ON MY NORMAL ROUTES THAT I REALIZE THAT THIS CAR HAS ZERO VISIBILITY. NO WINDOWS IN THE BACK THAT ALLOW YOU TO SWITCH LANES SAFELY OR EVEN BACK UP FROM A PARKING LOT OR AREA SAFELY. I JUST RECENTLY HAD AN ACCIDENT AS WELL. I ALREADY KNOW THIS CAR HAS NO VISIBILITY TO IT TAKES ME LONGER THAN USUAL TO BACK UP OR SWITCH LANES. I LOOK AT MY SIDE AND REAR VIEW MIRRORS AND DO A COMPLETE TURN PAST MY BLACK SPOT TO ENSURE NO CARS ARE THERE, HOWEVER EVEN DOING THAT YOU CAN STILL HAVE AN ACCIDENT LIKE I DID WHEN AFTER LOOKING WAITING AND THEN PROCEEDING THAT I MISSED A SMALL HONDA PRELUDE COME BEHIND ME. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR ALL DRIVERS. OWNERS AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT SINCE I WAS 18 YRS OLD AND HERE I AM 8 MOS INTO HAVING THIS CAR AND I HAVE ONE. *TR
