Yeah... or any huge, sluggish, barge-like American car will do too, I guess.
There's a lot to choose from in that category.

I installed the Rexpeed mirrors last week. I have both of them adjusted so you can just see the sides of the car. At this angle, and using all 3 mirrors, you can see everything behind or next to you. No more blind spot! You will have to make a bit of adjustment to how far away objects are but you'll get the hang of it pretty quickly. Installation was quick and easy. Just watch their video to see how easy it is.

I have mine adjusted the same way.. Could never go back to stock..
How do you like the polarized tint? Haven't done much night driving with them yet, but it does cut down on glare..

Here's my solution. I got some crap for it because it uses up valuable space, but it just works better for me. I can see things in the spot mirror quicker than in the mirror behind it. Let's take driving or FPS video games; I always use goofy HUDs because it just works for me.

Plus, these were $2 a piece.

I like it. I haven't had any problems with using them at night and as you said they do cut down on glare. Of course I don't have tinted windows either. Folks with tint may not want them as they may be too dark to see much.
