mirror Question

My rear view mirror magnifies, yet the wing mirrors make things look smaller/further away. Every other vechicle I drive or have driven have had no differences between both mirrors.

Is this normal? It was a bit confusing to begin with:?

Yep, same on mine, you,ll soon get used to it, i assume its to do with van type mirrors on a van type vehicle...Speaking of mirrors, ive been on the lookout for some kerbside mirrors as fitted to hgv's for my bongo, but smaller versions, no luck so far...

Meatloaf................objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are.
Most mirrors have some magnification, in my Vectra there is a marked difference in the interior & wing mirrors. Not sure about the Bongo.

Common practice in Japanese vehicles at least and I've owned quite a few.
