5 Vehicles With The Worst Visibility
We know it’s a completely biased statement coming from us, but we’ll reiterate it every chance we get: visibility is vital, and we hang our hat on improving it whenever possible!
Although safety systems were recently made standard by most makers, many vehicles feature overly thick pillars, small windows, bad sightlines, and/or high dashboards--the main offenders when it comes to hindering visibility. Here are a few:
Porsche Boxster
In the land of compact roadsters, the Boxster makes drivers of all heights struggle with visibility, as the roof hinders sight when it isn't in convertible mode and the trunk, wind screen, and roll hoops are all high in relation to the low racing seats.
Nissan 370Z
Another compact visibility nightmare, the speedy 370Z not only has a small cabin, but thick pillars, small windows, and a high dash that makes blind spots a nightmare without a backup camera system.
Chevy Camaro
If there’s one sports car that makes everyone’s “poor visibility” list, it’s the Camaro. The small windows all around the car, 4 thick pillars, high trunk, low roof, and long hood make it known that speed is prioritized over sight. Aftermarket system HIGHLY recommended here.
Toyota Tundra
In contrast to most pickup trucks, the Tundra goes out of its way to hinder vision, with extra thick pillars and wide headrests that block your rearview mirror. Add the fact that it's higher than most cars sitting on the road, and it's a recipe for disaster.
Nissan Pathfinder
Another common offender on many lists, the Pathfinder’s small back windows and large headrests make for a difficult time seeing blindspots and behind the vehicle.
Though most automakers, inlcuding those listed, have begun improving the views from inside, with backup, dash, and even 360 cameras, it’s easy to see why the secondary market for older models is still thriving.
