I recently rented a non-GT version for two weeks. Wonderful vehicle except for:
. slit-like view through the extremely-raked windshield.
. thick, forward-thrusting A-pillars can block view of other vehicles when you make a turn.
Current Honda Civic has the same A-pillar problem although the windshield is bigger top to bottom so the "slit-like view" effect is not as pronounced.
That A-pillar problem is awfully common, and I'd love to see some accident analysis that assesses the impact of it, especially with respect to pedestrian accidents. I think most minivans have it, the Rondo does to an extent, and pretty much anything with that seeks an aerodynamic profile. I can't decide if it is due to the pillar thickness or just the pillar position, being so much further forward than the average (older) car. I find I can mitigate it by leaning toward the side window as I look forward, thus visually narrowing the pillar.
Interesting point about the slit-like view. I thought your comment was going to apply to the rear window!
