More importantly, can you actually see anything with it in the car where it is located?

From my experiences with mounting Talbot-style mirrors is you have two choices; one to mount the mirror where it can be used to see rearward, or, mount it so it looks good on the exterior..... Rarely are the two locations the same... or even close! It really gets down to seating location, or how far back your seat is on the tracks; the further back you are, the more the mirror wants to be up and forward. Short wheelbase drivers will have a better chance of actually using these mirrors to see out of. Good luck.

Humm, well at 6'4" I sit with the char all the way back. They would probably be pretty worthless. Oh well, I like my pear shaped mirror anyway.
