Do approaching cars in the mirror appear big enough? Have read criticisms of other mirrors that cars are too small to see as they approach.

I have no problem seeing approaching vehicles and other bikes, the clarity is pretty good.

Well I have not noticed that as an issue after couple hundred miles of city & urban road use. I find it offers a nice sharp view, fine depth & width perception. I would suggest reading all the reviews on this mirror and see if maybe someone see's it as an issue. For me, I'm 100% happy with it.

David, I actually live in Israel, and most card here a bit smaller. That said, before I had the mirror it was very hard to see cars behind me.. not the mirror gives me an idea of what is going on... it is not 100% as you are right the images seem a bit smaller, however it is very worth while ...Chaim

I'm 67 & wear glasses. The pair I wear when I ride are 6 year old sunglasses. Cars do not appear large but I know they are there

We each have this mirror and have no problem seeing vehicles or other bikers. If I don't have my glasses on then it is not so good, so I always wear my glasses.

No, that can't be correct. At least not in inches. I haven't measured mine (I'm in the office right now) but it's just a little bit bigger than the standard car rearview mirror. I hope this helps.

A good question -though I am not familiar with the size of your rear view mirror. (size etc.)

I would say no. The mirror is great but the angle of placement is limited to about 60° max. Great suction as well as clear vision, though.

When I was first looking at reviews for this great mirror I saw where some people were having trouble fitting this to their mirrors when they had Onstar and things like that. I have a standard mirror and it works fine. I think if you can contact Car Mate maybe they can answer your question. I love my mirror and it does what it says and it is good quality and gives me very good visibility. I hope it can work for you!

Can't say for sure, but it'd probably show a bigger image (at least on the driver's side) than you'd get with a rear-view mirror. I hate to drive without my auxiliary mirror--when I drive someone else's car, I feel naked.

In my experience, there are two types/sizes of mirrors. The travel mirror measures 6 x 4 inches. The other, the standard one, measures 6 5/8 x 5 1/4 inches. In other words, the standard, larger one is almost the same height but is significantly wider. I find both of them to be excellent for the stated purpose.

I do not notice any visual distortion, although if objects have different focal lengths, there will be a natural distortion. The concavity of the mirror does an excellent job of compensating. Re: Large-since that is a subjective, I really cannot comment. I can only state that I can see my entire well lighted face and more flaws than I care to comment on :)

Hard to say... considering newborns (at least) can only see about 10"-14" away anyway. In theory a child who is "old enough" and can recognize her/himself in mirrors would be able to (I think?). The mirror is large enough that it is possible. I'm just not sure developmentally that a rear-facing child has the ability to really see in that way (with two mirrors and at that distance).

No. You will see the bright daylight rear view through the mirror, so that the LCD image will be distracted unless you face-down the mirror to view the back seat instead. I think this is a common problem for all back mirror-LCDs. I now always use it with face-down, as I use the mirror only when I backing up the car.

This actually becomes your rearview mirror. Imagine having a small mirror in your bedroom/bathroom and then putting a bigger mirror clipped right on top of it. You now have a bigger mirror without altering the original smaller mirror behind it.I hope this was helpful.

You will always have at least one blind spot, but these mirrors will help to see better. But I will admit that the original mirrors were more to my liking. I bought these because I bought an RV and I needed wide range mirrors. I've had them for a year and I still haven't gotten used to the, but that could just be me. I hope that this helps.

I have a Pickup Truck and the mirror fits snugly"Perfect" on it, and it's got a wider view . I can smile brightly and still see what's behind of me. Thanks for asking.

At first it seemed too, but you can adjust the mirror to get a good view. You have to find that perfect spot! Sometimes you have to tilt your head ever so slightly.

Without seeing the mirror, I couldn't confirm the fit -- but I've never seen a modern mirror that it wouldn't fit on. As for its utility, it absolutely would provide a tremendous improvement. We had a simila mirror on a Dodge Maxi Van many years ago, and it was a godsend!

Not that I noticed. But it does make seeing around a little more. Cars behind you look smaller.

If you have a mirror already for a rear-facing infant then it works perfectly. I can see everything! (including my blind spots)
