How easy/hard is it to reverse/backup ?

Is the visibility bad compared to a regular car ?
Any opinions / comments appreciated.

It is a bitch to backup. I think the backup camera is standard. If is not, get it. One thing I hate about my G35c is backing into spaces in parking garages

no, you test driving the car would be the most helpful

maybe you're tall enough to stick your head out the sunroof.. it would be real easy to back up then. the only person who can tell you if it's hard for you to back up is you

If you have the backup camera, it makes it 10 times easier.
If not, then it is not to hard.

The camera is not standard. I think that's part of the nav package.

But yea, definitely get the package, it makes backing up a breeze. You can come within 5 in. of the back wall with ease if you want. Don't rule it out until you give it a try in person.

I don't think backing up is "easy" in any car necessarily. It's sort of like one of the murder, suspense stories. You never know what could hit you next.

Hehe, just kidding! Needless to say, the backup-cam has made my life a lot less stressful.

Backup camera was a must for me. Just a peace of mind when you back up. I wouldn't buy this car (or any car that has this option) without the camera!

I can't remember the last time I backed up. I normally charge into a parking spot as fast as possible and jump out the car. I hate people that take all day backing up and adjusting.

J/K... Welcome to the forum. Not hard to back up at all. Although it looks like it has a high rear end, it really doesn't feel that way from the drivers seat.

As far as the rear view cam, it comes with the Navi package.
