Hi Paul,
:beerchug:
Driving - the visibility is fine, the wing mirrors give enough visibility when pulling out to overtake (unlike the Vauxhall Insignia I borrowed for a week 6 months ago - which was scarily inadequate :aargh4:) and when coupled with the rear-view mirror sees enough behind to give you confidence that you know what is going on around you.

Reversing - hmmm :1zhelp: - glad I have the camera - again the wing mirrors are fine for spotting kerbs for alignment, so kerbing should not be an issue, they are fine for reversing between 2 cars as you can keep both in view throughout the manoeuvre ..... BUT seeing through the back window to see objects less than 4 feet(ish) high is really quite tricky. As I say the camera is proving to be worth it's weight in gold. I guess you could always 'trust the force Luke' to go backwards :blindfold.

The rear and fore sensors are excellent and not overly pessimistic so you can place yourself close to obstacles which is good, the graphic representation of the sensor output on the in-car screen is pretty accurate too so these all help.:biggthump

With practise and experience I'm sure anyone could learn to do perfectly good reversing with the visibility available, van drivers do it everyday ... I'm just glad I don't have to do so.:biglaugh:

Hope that helps.

Matt.

I notice that you do not have a "set" button for the TPM system on the centre console,is this because you've got the electronic option ??
