I've read about the small windows hindering driver visibility, especially when backing up. I'm wondering if this is something that those of you who've been driving the H3 for a while are getting use to or becoming acclimated to..??

Yes and No

I like not being as visible.

Oh, you meant seeing out of the truck. I've pretty much gotten used to it. Just get better at using your mirrors and double-triple checking when backing up.

Thanks for your input. Would you care to elaborate?

Okay, well thanks Mr. Troll.

I had that problem when backing up. But since i put a rear cam... no more problem.

I wasnt aware of such a problem. I have yet to backup over anyone or anything but if it should occur I am happy to know i have a locker to ensure I will overcome the obstacle. =P

A lot of us have rear cameras and Hitchcams (not the type used in porno movies). Another alternative is to never use your reverse gear.

Well you are a master of the internet. Good job. Why are you posting in this thread?

This could be a fun thread to watch.

Never really bothered me much but have gotten used to the limited visibility.


Paragon, you are now a troll? You have got to have the most posts of any troll that has ever been here. Very possibly all other trolls combined

The little frensel lenses that fit on the rear window do great and if you add wide-angle small outside mirrors your in fat city, as well as a lot less expense then rear view camera system.

It really doesn't bother me, especially since I live in a rural area BUT, I find that I park defensively so I can pull forward as much as possible instead of backing up. I learned this years ago with the Vehicross which has much worse vision to the rear (similar to a panel van). If I go to a mall or large parking area, I pull forward through two spots, to a spot I can drive straight out of. If I go to a friends house, I park in the street instead of having to back out of a driveway- I'm so used to it now, I don't even think about it, and do it automatically.

I agree with HummerJim's comments. I do the same. You need to understand the first thing you hit will be with your spare tire so make sure you understand how far it is behind the window.

The visability is definitely hindered compared to other SUVs I've owned and/or driven. There are a lot of blind spots with the H3. You become aware of them and compensate. The little round convex spot mirrors attached to the side-view mirrors help a little. I just installed a rear-view backup camera. It helps a little to see what you might ordinarily run over. But to me it's more novelty/gadget than anything else. I figured it will help my wife when she drives. it. You get used to it after a while.

BTW... this is obviously an unmoderated forum. You are going to get all kinds of responses to your questions. Sift through the ones that help and ignore the rest. Just my .02...

Actually the H3 visibility is no worse than my 02 Corvette was. And I would say its better than some of the other sports cars too. Although it is limited and not a round glass bubble, it is not the worst either.

Does this question have a purpose, or are we just shooting the **** here? I can see more than enough to allow me to drive. If I can't, then oh well...people will move when I merge into their lane or start backing up into them.

If you are really looking for something with poor visibility, my vote goes for the Countach, get that.
