diver,
The view through the back is, indeed, a bit odd, but if you adjust your mirrors properly you shouldn't have a problem. I never have in a year and a half. As far as the front of the car -- true, you can't see it. But, compared to the other cars I've driven, it's very short at the front and you aren't likely to accidentally hit anything. You think you're closer than you are.
