Lightbulb Rear view mirror too big.

Any other RX8 driver having problems seeing around the rear view mirror?
It seems to me that this mirror was not designed for this car as it is larger than it needs to be. It reflects all of the rear view out the window and then some and the homelink buttons don't need to be mounted on it. Even mounting it higher would help. I wonder if the 2005 will have a different set up?

Re: Rear view mirror too big.

I agree the mirror is a bit big but after a while I got used to it. I would like a smaller one though.

How's that lemon law investigation going? Did the link I sent you do any good? It sure would be cool to see you get into a brandnew 8.
