After driving 240s and v70s, the rear view on a v50's rear-view mirror is decidedly narrow.
Yes, the outside mirrors are fine, and yes, I even sprung for the aspherical driver's side mirror glass for $13, but I was still unhappy
(Here's the aspherical, cheap and good):

So, I broke down and spent $7 on one of those wider, curved rear-view mirror snap-on overlays, and golly am I happy with it.
Suddenly, I and seeing to the sides out the back cargo bay windows, not just out the relatively tiny rear cargo bay window.
Much cheaper than the Volvo "Blind Spot Information System", and I am feeling true bliss!
Here's the mirror I bought, but there are many others identical to it:

V50 "Tunnel Vision"
1982 240DL: Drove it 32 years and 1.5 million miles (sold, even still had mint leather!)
2001 v70 2.4T: The most expensive $1500 car I ever bought ("Volvo Turbo" - what an oxymoron!) (sold)
2004 v70: Far less fatally-flawed v70 - It served well (sold)
2010 v50: Smaller, slightly sportier wagon. Its got a spoiler, so I upgraded with sway bars!
