I know I raised this question inside another thread, but i figured it deserved its own entry. (Thanks to dj1 for your thoughtful response in that other thread!)
What's your sense of rear visibility on the Insight — both in the rear view mirror and looking over one's shoulder?
Coming from an older car, without the sloping roofline, the view seems a bit cramped and the back headrests seem to intrude a fair bit in the rear view mirror. Maybe, though, I didn't set the mirror — or the driver's seat — properly on my test drive!
Were you bothered by it? Was it easily adjusted to?
It seems that most modern sedans have the smaller rear window and sloping roofline, so it's something that comes with the territory now. Or, as dj1 notes, it's a set up that one simply gets used to!
I find everything else about the car captivating (well, save for the lack of BSM and RCTA). (Blind-spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.)
