Anyone else noticed this? That thing takes up a lot of view space. I don't know how many times I've missed seeing a car entering the road from the right side from a driveway or side streeet or whatever due to that huge obstruction. Or is it just my model? I have a mirror that self dims and has several buttons for automatic garage door entry and such. I don't have much to complain about with this car but this one item.
I've the same mirror but haven't experienced an obstruction of view. I can think of a couple of reasons why we differ on this:
Well thank goodness you have this one item to grouch about, otherwise the Prius would be forcing you into creating a new NG screen name

Taller people tend to have some forward view blocked by the rear view mirror on the NHW20 Prius. A common suggestion is to pivot the mirror upwards (I think you can even flip it 180 degrees) to get it a little higher and out of your way.

Yes, I moved the mirror upward as much as I could (didn't flip it), and it made a big difference. I think it even improved my field of view out the rear window.

Ah, it pivots up easilly, and that made a big difference. Thanks.
Well, I always could bring up the suspension......
Now you're definitely picking nits :-)
