Car buyers with poor credit interested in the convenience of a rear view camera should check out these ten 2015 models
Cheap Cars With a Backup Camera?
While most borrowers with bad credit will end up financing a used car, in many cases the option of financing a new car may also be offered. If this happens, careful consideration should be given to picking one of the more affordable models.
But just because a vehicle is affordable doesn't mean at least one of the most recent, and popular, safety features needs to be sacrificed.
10 Cheapest Cars with Rear View Cameras
Starting with the 2018 model year, all new cars will be required to have rear view cameras. But with that deadline less than three years away, many manufactures are starting to offer this feature on some of their most affordable models – sometimes as standard equipment, as an option or as part of an option package.
To help you save time, we've put together a list of the ten most affordable cars that offer this useful safety, all with an MSRP of less than $19,000. In decending retail price order they are:
10. tie 2015 Honda Civic LX Coupe, 6-speed manual, MSRP: $18,840 A rear view camera with guidelines is standard on all Honda Civics, with the Coupe LX equipped with a manual transmission being the most affordable model.
10. tie 2015 Kia Rio SX sedan, 6-speed automatic, MSRP: $18,840 The top-line SX trim is the only Rio that offers a rear view camera, although it is standard, as is the 6-speed automatic transmission (a manual SX is not offered)
