Is Forte's Boot Too High?

Imo, the boot is too high. As a result, my rear view through the rear view mirror is limited to vehicles that are very far back. Those that are nearer, I can only see their windscreen and roof line only. This is also quite a hindrance especially when doing reverse parking. What do you guys think?

1) tats where the reverse sensor come in...
2) Alternatively you can add this



ok... option 2 is jus a joke...

Adjust ur seat higher, then reverse tat time roll down ur window or open ya door to check...
U not everyday taking TP test ... no need scared ma...

for me not really a problems... am used to it...
agree with bro ano57, u can roll down window or open the door to check... or maybe can add reverse camera...
... when i took my class 4 and 5 practical/TP test... they dont even allow u to look at the rear view mirror... hehe...

lol.. i tilt my mirrors quite far down. alternatively you can get one of those circle mirrors that stick on to ur mirror.

for me, i got the reverse camera, so it helps when u are parking.

its a matter of getting use to....

while driving, is there a need to look back so much, I only look when I am over speed limit, to see if I am chased by TP.... or when I am braking, to see that the car behind me is also slowing down...

for reversing into lot, look at the reflection from the next car... chances are there is always a car parked on the right....

getting car is like buying a shirt... Its not like u can tailor made it.. .U can only compromise on other stuff that you think its a mis-match from you. If you cant a compromise, then the last straw is change car.

There are 101ways to deal with it. Its only if you wish to wreck some brain cells. ^_^. There are always the Cheaper was then $$ ways.
Change habits?
etc

I don't depend on the rear view mirror totally...

I used the side mirrors, reflection of another car, paralled position of front passenger or driver side of the parked car next to me. And of course a lot of practice till your visual agar agar reversing is 99.9% perfect.

To cut the story short, parking is all about practice....over and over again.

Turning around to look is the best... I remember when I took private driving course, I turned around to look can park parallel on first try after 1-2 years with little driving. But strangely instructor didn't like that...

Agreed!!

Last time learn parking, instructor ask me to look at the pole when reach corner, Sha Ka Liao...
You think public parking got pole for you to see meh??

Worst is there are no cars parking beside, then see wat?
Go down plant poles???

ROTF... haa..
ya... its about practice... but just dun mind to shift gear.. forward / reverse..as long as it helps position the car better.. open door to check alignment too if not too sure..
