You asked for it, so here it is. This is you view over the driver's shoulder of our 2009 Audi S5. In comparison to other coupes it really isn't too bad. As you might expect, the blindspot is more significant with a taller driver in the front passenger seat. In this picture the seatback is only reclined moderately.

Better than many, at least the window are good sized and the C pillar isn't a 'flying butress'.

Much better than the Mustang.
Every time I drive it, I hope and pray nobody's in the blind spot.
Not good.

Much better than the 370Z too.
