You should get accustomed to it. I got used to it pretty quickly, and that may be because I also drive a loaded cargo van a lot, which makes the VX a breeze to see out of by comparison. It helps that the VX turns so tightly. I am on the tall side too, and really don't need anything more than the mirrors (without add-ons). With the side mirrors I can see behind the VX pretty well except for dead-center if it's right on my tail. A rearview camera setup would be a nice perk, but whereas I used to really want that, now it would be just that - just a perk. I also garage it all the time. The garage opening is barely wide enough and my wife parks in our short driveway too, so I have her park a little way back by the street and I've learned to back it out of the garage (can't really cut the wheel at all until you're all the way out) and narrowly miss her van. I can now get really close because I know just where the back is. I also found a spot at work that has shade all day long except for early in the morning, so I park in the shade in the morning and just back it up around a curve and between trees and such (just wide enough for a vehicle to pass through) to the other spot before I leave with the van. It's actually easier than going in forward because you need to do a three-point turn to get back out if you do pull in forward. Anyway, my point is that it becomes sort of second-nature after a while.
