I agree that properly adjusted outside mirrors (both right and left) will cover any blindspot in an automobile. But v-e-r-y few people adjust them properly. It's easy to test: when driving behind another car, you should not be able to see the driver's face through his own left-side mirror. If that's the case, he can't see in his own blindspot. As for my '00 95, it's great. I've no complaints.
