<div class="bbWrapper">For those that own the car, is it hard to see traffic out the rear window?<br /> I test drove one today and though only with it a short time, I was surprised how little I could see out the back window.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Visibility is fine for me...even with a G spoiler. I think my eyes just adapted to the frame easily</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It&#039;s better than some... and worse then others... lol you get used to it <br /> I find a lot of cars have poor rear visibility to be honest</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">The bigger hindrance to rear visiblilty for me tends to be the micropeen lifted diesel trucks that try to hump my car constantly on the highway.<br /> <br /> But otherwise, It&#039;s fine. If you&#039;re used to a more traditional sedan style, you get used to the Stinger window after a while. You kinda learn to work around it. Certainly shouldn&#039;t be a dealbreaker IMO.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It would be great if they had a digital mirror, the Rav4 I got rid of did, it used the back up camera to view traffic behind you.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Even after nearly three years, I find the rear visibility inadequate when reversing. Normal driving it&#039;s fine, because I constantly use the side mirrors as well. Yes, we have a reverse camera, but I &quot;old school&quot; my backing up routine: and only glance at the rearview camera display: this, I feel, is being smart, getting most of my information with the mirrors and only supplementing Real Life with video.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Visibility is not the best but better than the 370z, M235i, Mustang GT, and Camaro SS that I tried out a little while back.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">After driving convertibles for 15yrs, which have horrendous rear visibility... the Kia is a notch above those past vehicles I&#039;ve owned.<br /> <br /> I also don&#039;t haul rear passengers often, and never have anyone sitting in the center back seat... which is why I removed the center headrest. That made the biggest difference for me.<br /> <br /> With a rear camera, adjusted side mirrors and rear bumper sensors... it&#039;s not that big of a deal.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Hop in a new Camaro and then back into the Stinger and then thank KIA for the awesome rear visibility in the Stinger. Just one example of awful rear visibility in a current vehicle. I think the Stinger rear visibility is very adequate.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I’m on day two of having my Stinger and I find the rear window fine. I was coming from a cadenza which also had a decent slope to the back and this has less visibility but not too much less. I also find the 360 camera and parking sensors very helpful for backing out of places. I will say only my kids sit back there so I don’t have heads in the way...<br /> <br /> I think the C pillars are more of a visibility issue than the rear window, but those don’t bother me much either.</div>

Took me driving two different Camaros in the modern 21st century (2014 ZL1 and 2018 SS) to realize just how bad the visibility is... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Rear windshield is fine, however I have updated the backup light bulb for backing up at night, I live on a hill and the rear firing lights don&#039;t project well when there is nothing to bounce off of, issue with the hill not the car I believe</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">It’s not that bad.</div>

They fill up Walmart&#039;s parking lot when the extra small condoms go on sale.<br /> <br /> I have no problem with the back window.</div>
