F430 coupe visibility?

Nope!!! Visibility is bad

 

In my coupe it's mostly engine rearward but I can see whose behind 1/4 mi. No issue there. Not bad. The spider imay be different.

As they say the first rule of Italian driving:
What's behind me doesn't matter.

No issues with rearward vision. Yes, you can see as far as your vision allows.

 

360 and 430 coupes have a relatively good rearward vision. Especially compared to my Gallardo...

 

What is it that they say again? The first rule of Italian motoring is, "What ever it is behind you does not matter"! ;P

 

They do have mirrors.

No issues - mirrors are good.

 

Mirrors are your friend. I have found that lane changes are where you'll find your blind spots. I have my side view mirrors out a little more than I would normally set them and always do the over the shoulder glance. As for backing up, no problem. Visibility is pretty good.

 

I almost hit someone two weeks ago on I-4 who was in my blind spot--I did not see and almost hit them--heard the horn and jumped back. Usually I am going faster than everyone so no one can sneak up into the blind spots--but it happened.

 

+ 1 mirrors adjusted way out there .

 

The mirrors help I agree. Extend all the way out. But the small rear window when top is up is tough

 

Visibility is fine apart from the rear 3/4 view behind the passenger seat. The C pillar is pretty wide there so I've missed a car or two when merging left (right in the US I guess).

 

Blind spot is pretty bad on the coupe.

 

I don't think its that bad if you use the mirrors. The hardest thing is making a left turn when there is some kind of obstruction that makes you look across and behind- you'll have to nose out a drop more than normal.
