Poor Visibility, Poor Designs: Part 1

Choosing a new vehicle is tough enough with how many choices are out on the market today. As consumers, we put a big amount of faith in Ford Philadelphia and other auto manufacturers that they make safe vehicles for us to drive. Well, the VW Deals going on really are a great deal because several of their cars have received the highest crash test rating you can get. But what about some of the features of a vehicle that don’t lessen your chances of getting into an accident? We are talking about visibility issues, here! Make sure on your test drive at Cincinnati Used Cars you check out all the blind spots and take note of the following issues so you get yourself into a safe car!
Think of when you are driving, how much you rely on your mirrors. Especially people who drive big trucks or trucks with canopies on the back; you pretty much have to use your mirrors to avoid backing into something. A lot of consumers write in to trusted auto experts at Edmunds complaining that their rearview and side mirrors are too small. As drivers, we can do our part to correct this problem by properly adjusting your mirrors whenever you get into the vehicle. And, if you adjust your seat, then you probably need to adjust all your mirrors!
Another common complaint is how small some of the windows are in your vehicle. If you have ever sat in a Toyota FJ Cruiser, you will know what we are talking about (see picture above)! Auto engineers have the difficult task of creating a structurally sound vehicle that you can visually see out of. The main concern is rollover accidents; a piece of metal is going to protect you better than excess windows. That piece of metal surrounding the back windshield is known as a pillar. Larger pillars are needed for vehicles with a high rollover risk. Some good choices for visibility include the Toyota Sienna, Subaru Forester, Chevy Malibu, and Dodge Caravan.
