    Popular sedans fail NRMA visibility test

    Cop this Mr Scruby!

    The NRMA has come out in favour of 5 top end 4x4 with 5 star ratings for rear visibility and simultaneously regular sedans have scored a big fat zero on the same study.

    Some small hatchbacks are the shocking too, with a high rear windscreen lower edge.

    I was going to have a rant about people taking some responsibilty for their children's whereabouts in public spaces, that's going slightly off topic.

    Good on ya Pedro.

    But I'll bet they don't use the info. Can't see how they can get a "beat up" out of this.
    Cheers .........

    I remember an NRMA test which named the Holden Commodore VT sedan shape one of the worst vehicles for rear vision.

    My father in law always used to harp on about my dangerous 4wd (stock Holden Rodeo). I took great pride in pointing out this NRMA report as at the time he had just bought a VT Commodore sedan.

    This is an article from the time
    Commodore rates poorly in rear-vision study - theage.com.au
