laser_jock99:
4x4 are among the worst....how on earth can they draw that conclusion in a total of 20 (yes just 20 cars) only of which was a 4x4!

I agree JJ they are very easy to drive, the door pillars are quite slim and the corners are easy to see with short front and rear overhangs plus tow bar lets you know when to stop!!  :shock: (joking!!)

--- Quote from: "Rich_P" ---I have to admit, having reversed a OneTen and 110, and also having reversed my father's Mercedes-Benz (1992 230TE), the OneTen and 110 (one a SW, the other a CSW) have by far worse visibility than my father's car which is longer than both.

The report is about A pillars, not B or C pillars so reversing is not part of their equation. Purely visibility past the windscreen pillars.

If they were comparing rear quarter visibility, then many 4x4's would come off worse as you rightly suggest.

Rich_P:
Oh, okay.  My bad.
