The 18-Year-Old Auto Upgrade: Backup Sensors - Hopkins NVision

If you’re looking for some electronic assistance backing your car but don’t want to mess with installing a rearview camera, a backup sensor system might be the solution.

Consisting of ultrasonic sensors mounted at the rear of the vehicle and connected to an audible alarm inside the car, a sensor system gives you a warning when you’re getting close to something behind you, typically growing more urgent as you get closer.

FreedMike Civic for the win based on looks. But continuing with the "but...Mazda" theme, I take a 3 over either of these.
Buickman HI-LOW?
Redapple2 175,000 miles? Wow. Another topic, Hot chicks drive Cabos at higher % than most other cars. I always look.
Mister When the news came out, I started checking Autotrader and cars.com for stickshift Versas. There are already a handful showing at $15.3k. When anybody talks about buying a new Versa, folks always say that you're better off buying a nicer used car for the same money. But these days, $15.3k doesn't buy very many "nicer used cars".
28-Cars-Later A little pricy given mileage but probably not a horrible proposition for a Sunday car. The old saying is you're not buying a pre-owned car you're buying the previous owner, and this one has it hooked up to a float charger (the fact he even knows what one is, is a very good sign IMO). Leather and interior look decent, not sure which motor this runs but its probably common (for VAG at least). Body and paint look clean, manual trans, I see the appeal."but I think that's just a wire, not a cracked body panel." Tim, its a float charger. I am doing the exact same thing with the charger hanging via a magnetic hook on the HVAC overhead in my garage.
