Edmunds.com: 05 Prius beats 06 HCH

**Tideland Prius** · 10-07-2006, 01:49 AM

All cars will have blind spots. I do find the A-pillars a bit intrusive in my foresight. I'd have to bend around to make sure no one's hidden behind it.

The pillars are a little more intrusive than a usual car, but you get used to it quickly. If all you see is pillar when you're expecting road - lean forward!

By the way, the regular Camry we hired in the US recently had exactly the same problem. Any car where you sit back from the windscreen (that is, a big one) would be the same surely.

Thanks everybody for the kind words about the blindspots. You're all very encouraging, and I think I'm just a bit nervous about it. Like you say: I'll get used to it.
