Shopping for new Fit. A-frame issues?

Hi everyone,

I have been looking around for a new car, and have decided I may go with a Milano Red 2018 Honda Fit LX CVT and I found myself here with questions.

My only concern at this time seems to be complaints regarding the A-Frame on a driver and passenger side creating a blindspot. I have test drove a 2018 Honda Fit during my lunch break with little to no prior knowledge about the A-Frame complaint and have yet made time to test drive another Fit to focus on the blindspot. Is it really as bad as some people say? I am 5' 6", I typically drive with only my left hand on the wheel and slightly more leaned back than I should according to my chiropractor, right now I drive a 98 Civic Coupe with no issues other than my windshield wiper frame blinds me every so often when the sun hits it right.

the a pillar is a big blind spot but i’ll get use to it. just be careful when driving around parking structures for example for pedestrians. my wife drives the GK and she has not hit anyone yet. lol

I'm 5'6" too, shortish arms and legs and sit with the seat all the way down bc it's comfortable . The A pillar is an annoying blind spot especially at night.
