Anyone can advice if there is or not blind spot for F/L pica? Ya, i felt so too. Maybe picanto's small car size causes a reduction in the blind spot area, making the side mirrors able to cover the entire blind spots too. Maybe....

My experience, got blind spot, a couple of misses just depending on the driver side rear mirror. The passenger side seem ok.

Either can add blindspot mirror, those stick on the side mirrors, or change the rear mirror to those convex type.....i used the blue mirror with convex, can see blindspot from the rear mirror itself, but still got to check your sides lah....safety more important

Yup, I already encountered a few times, best is not to trust the side mirrors fully, and do your normal blind spot checks as taught in school!

In the beginning, I was not quite used to driving my FL pica. I felt that this thing obstructed my view, causing another blind spot. It just felt so different, compared to other cars. Anyone felt that way too?

as the car is small, so the A pillar is nearer to your view, so its looks bigger. you will get used to it

Anyone felt that way too? Ur rims are nice...where u change and how much u got it? whats the profile? 14"? 1XX/XX? Thanks for e compliment kwoni . Got them @ RICARDO AUTO CENTRE @ kung chong road (near Alexandra's C&C). The uncle there was very friendly & I felt very comfortable taking my time choosing the right type of rims which i liked. A whole set of the chrome rims & 165/60/14 tyres cost me $575, after a trade in of my stock tyres.
