I don't want to say curse, but these cars definitely have a low profile (literally). After two different cars this morning didn't see me in their blindspot and nearly swerved into me, I looked over at my wife and told her I needed an even louder exhaust. She just rolled her eyes.

When driving my GTI (which is a good 7" higher) on the same commute, I'd say I get about half the amount of near collisions.
Now that my exhaust is loud and noticable, I have noticed people slow down to let me pass or can acknowledge my existence
