Rear View Visibility in 2013 RDX?
 
Is rear view visibility good in 2013 RDX? We will be moving from a Subaru with larger rear tailgate window and back side windows. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

It's definitely on the smaller end, I even take out the rear headrests when I drive alone because it gives me a little more visibility. This is where the standard rear camera comes in handy when you reverse, because the wide angle view catches everything!

Thank you so very much! When on the road, are you able to see out of the right rear side window ok, or do you need to rely solely on side view mirrors? When we test drove, the right rear window was blocked by price sticker and sales person sitting there.

Will definitely test drive again before purchase but trust feedback from Acurazine members so much thought I would ask here first to learn of anything to be aware of.

You'll get used to it. It's not as bad as a Prius or Volt which have a bar in the middle of the rear view.

It's not so bad that you have to ever rely on the side view mirrors, even with the headrests. The back window is just smaller than I'm used to, and like what musty hustla said, you'll get used to it.

Great, was hoping this would be just a matter of personal adjustment. Thanks for your kind replies and help.

I haven't noticed it or had any issues. Guess visibility is just fine for my needs.

Thank You! We have had our new RDX Tech for a few weeks and also find that visibility is just fine.
