Default Rear Visibility Help

Hi All,

Considering an IS-C for my next car. My big concern is the rear visibility with the top up. I have heard several reviews that comment on the poor visibility. I know you can lower the headrests, but does that really help? I can get the rear view camera for parking situations, but how hard is it to see for merging on the highway?

Thanks for the help

Having the rear headrests down does indeed help. The rear visibility isn't that big of a deal, IMHO.

backup camera helps with backing up and normal driving, I can see fine out of the back.

Test drive one and see what you think.

Like what TomDac said, the rear visibility isn't a big thing. I thought of the same thing prior to getting my ISC. The rear view doesn't even phase me. Good luck in your decision.

Compared to the rear visibility in my BMW 135 convertible it's amazing! No issues at all in the ISC.

Lowering the rear headrests is a big improvement.
