Tom & Ray Magliozzi brought this to my attention. Many people tend to use the side view mirrors as rear view mirrors. The mirrors should be positioned so you see things that are not seen in the rear view mirror.
Check out the instructions for positioning your mirrors. If this procedure is followed, you don't need a stick on mirror!

I have already positioned my mirrors correctly, and I have for years. Nonetheless, I notice that I still have a blind spot that I didn't have in my previous car ('99 Passat). So I am considering a small extra mirror for the first time in 25 years of driving.
