S60 Rear Visability S60

posted by  someone claiming to be Bii W on  Wed Mar 29 10:25 CST 2017 [RELATED]

Hello
I am considering purchasing the newer S60 after 2011
I noticed the rear window has a steep slope
Does this present any type of rear visibility problem

Thanks

A test drive should give you the information you seek.

I prefer wagons for their visibility. Todays cars are nowhere like my '66 Dodge where you can see all 4 corners.

You might find out if any S60s can be fitted with rear view cameras and what the cost may be.

With tunneled directional signals, dark tints and the rear visibility afforded with today's cars, looking around for trouble might be on the way out.

Have you ever thought about how many people run into buildings? I think that modern pedal design might be a factor.

I've been driving a 2016 S60 for about a year now and have no issues with rear view visibility.

Nope. Does this mean that you are one of the few American drivers that actually look in the rearview mirror?
