And I also think you missed my point anyway, all good
The no offense was probably not directed at you but the general audience.

Also I did not miss your point.

Guys knock it off no need to judge noobs or give them shit when they come here with legit questions about their car.

We get it you are awesome at not crashing when reversing. Congrats. Group circle jerk.

Back on post, if anyone has the chance to see either the reverse sensor or the camera mounted on the 86 can you please post a photo.
Once I sit in the car I might decide I dont need either, but I would like to plan ahead just in case.

I don't think anyone said they were awesome at reversing?? Seriously, is no one else concerned about how lazy people are getting at driving? Not jsut with regards to this forum, but over all. Accidents are caused due to people being lazy and not paying attention..
Seriously, reversing is a fundamental part of driving mate. At least it was when i was learnng and went for my test....

I sat inside and I thought damn I can't see jack out the rear window its a guessing game that I am not willing take. touch wood never had any accidents in reverse parking to date of my 15 years of driving.

Best reverse sensors i've see are in Mercs makes my auntie reverse like a pro. and you need them in very tight spaces in Hong Kong

hahah someone should inquire about TOYOTA CARE 1,2,3 years and we can compare prices if anyone is interested.

I got quoted for 3 years Toyota Care about $1500 maybe this is something people can bargain or get if they want to extend to 6 years

I would welcome a reversing camera. Had so many near misses with the 8 due to piss poor visibility out the rear, and two huge blind spots I can't compensate for

$1500 is standard price, i got the same quote.

not interested with extended warranty but i had to entertain the after sales care lady.

Is the SatNav worth it? Thinking about adding it to a GT, wonder if there's any room in there to haggle them down for it

it was around $1.5k for the sat nav right?

if so, get an aftermarket one.

our system seems to be similar to the BRZ one at the States and many owners are complaining.

I am using Alpine on my other car (with rear cam) and it's great.

get it when JB Hifi does 30% off all car audio.

but iPhone is also a cheap alternative.
