I bought a medium size of Maxi View. The truth is this mirror block part of my view. I can see so much better from my SUV mirrors. Objects actually so much closer than its appearance on the Maxi View. Even though you can spot the object in the mirror, it is so tiny that you can easily overlook. This is danagerous!
Safer because they're adjustable, but a bit expensive.
Double-sided tape is very strong, maybe too much - one mistake and you'll need dental floss and razor blade to take them off and reposition them.
Distortion is a problem - Radius of Curvature vertical is not the same as horizontal, so cars appear flatter than they are. After a while it's no problem. Adjustability gets rid of the sunlight that most other mirrors reflect into my eyes.
If you mount it way in the corner (as shown on the product page here, and I did on my 2005 Prius), and you then use the motor to rotate your mirror inside (for example to help when backing into a tight parking space), it's possible that the external mirror enclosure (the rim of the "cup" in the upper right of the picture shown) could foul the adjustment of these small mirrors.
So be careful when you place them on your mirror. But the adjustment angle freedom is a godsend.
