I completely agree that the rear visibility isn't great. I almost didn't buy it because of the visibility. It's my first car with a rear-view camera and it took me a few weeks to forget even trying to look out the rear window while reversing. I don't like relying on the camera so much since I can't tell exactly how close I am, but it's what I've had to do.
When driving, the visibility out the back window hasn't been that bad for me. I thought it was going to be worse than it is. I have adapted my driving style to use my side mirrors a lot more than my rear view mirror because I still find that view basically worthless. [start rant]Speaking of side mirrors, so many people have them positioned incorrectly that it makes my blood boil. For the love of god, if you can see more than the tiniest bit of the side of your car in the mirror, it's wrong. [end rant] End blind spots here
Maybe the civic's visibility is good in the current world of hatchbacks. Compared to the previous sedans/coupes I've driven, it's not so good.
