Normally I would agree, but the combination of large comfort seats and a 63 year old back makes twisting round to look out of the rear window somewhat awkward, if not bordering on being painful.
Add in the fact that, thanks to a transmission which snaps into neutral as soon as you open the door, you can't lean out for a rearward look.
So, personally speaking, I'm grateful for any bit of technology which helps me avoid denting my car.
