I had no idea that the backup camera was standard. Sweet!

What I was concerned about was visibility to the rear when driving and changing lanes. Learning proper mirror positioning has also made that a non issue. Using the mirrors I can change lanes with confidence although habit still prompts me to check by turning my head when traffic is light. Don

I lasted about 50 miles, but then I've had them since 1981 on every vehicle I've owned.

Visibility is not quite as good as my 2013 Camaro (which, once I adjusted to it, I felt had perfectly fine visibility). I just look over my shoulder a bit more.

I have cracked my front splitter, and will be adding curb alert today. Any long nosed car can have that risk.

this should be taught when people are first learning to drive.
