I would be curious to know if the people who think that there is a major visibility issue, to the extent that it would be a reason to not own one, always jumps in any type of car and closely checks out the mirrors and their lines of sight?

The reason I ask is that I have driven many different vehicles and it has NEVER been a consideration. I just quickly adjust the mirrors and I guess drive in a manner to always be aware of who is next to me, even vans that have no side windows or moving trucks, it just has never been an issue, I just drive accordingly.

I was driving my Equinox the other day after owning it for over 2 years and just noticed that if you pull up to the line at a cross section that some traffic signals are not visible without scrunching down to look out the windshield but it has never been something that I noticed or thought about.

I think there are just some people who are very sensitive to having clear lines of sight in every direction and some who are not. I guess that is why some people say it is a deal breaker and others say "what is the big deal?".

In my case, I have never even considered visibility when buying a car, if I like the car then visibility wouldn't be a factor on whether or not I bought it, but that is just me.
