Hello gen2 owners,
i've been considering to buy a gen2 cps since earlier this year. done many research and go through many threads/comments. Overall everything is good.
However, i've read some comments regarding poor visibility and huge blind spots (side and rear mirror) due to gen2 design. i'm worried that i will have a hard time reverse parking (reverse mirror) and also not easy to cut lines (side mirrors).
is there any improvements made for gen2 cps compared to older gen2?
hope gen2/gen2 cps owners could share their experiences...... so far i drove myvi and it's quite easy to drive around.......
p/s: i just started driving so not very good driving skills >_<
thanks and have a nice day^^

hell yes this is an excellent car! but!! yes there is a but!
1. poor build quality (i.e water leakage into passanger area, thru front door)
2. POOR and HEARTACHE after sales service
if you are ok with those above, then go ahead and buy this car. it is an excellent car i must say! very fun to ride on it, and with campro CPS, no need to feel scared of underpower
about the poor visibility and huge blind spot, yes! you are right. it's uncomfortable and not safe to drive this car honestly, whenever wants to overtake, must bend over to look at the side mirror to make sure there's no car nearby then only can overtake.. a few near missed happened to me while driving this car when i want to overtake and saw no car approaching (from the side mirror) and when overtake all of sudden a car pass right at me! luckily there's no accident happened. and the rear mirror also the same, quite small and cant see clearly.. but you will get used to it as time passing by.. just becareful though..
another thing i might add, the reverse sensor sound is not loud enough.. u need to turn off the radio or else u end up knockin at the back of your car..
and since you are driving a myvi, the side and rear mirror visibility of myvi is far better compare to gen2.. myvi is a practical and very easy to drive, altough looks ugly..
