No reverse camera is a deal breaker for you? You can get one for under $30.

I am liking this one for $30, it comes with a 4.3" monitor (a lot come with a 7", but that seems a little big for the Elio): http://www.amazon.com/Esky-EC170-20-4-3-Inch-TFT-LCD-Waterproof/dp/B00P8N7N0Y/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1462071478&sr=8-6&keywords=esky+backup+camera

I am tempted to just have one always on (instead of just for backup) as a rearview mirror replacement. The side mirrors will probably be fine for rear view (they are fine on my motorcycle), but it is an option.

The stock mirrors seemed to do the job when I sat in the E, I asked a few folks to move across the field of the rear vision. The one obstruction will be a blind spot if a motorcycle is trying to get up close ( car will be easy to see), his bad.
I too would, just for my head or when my kids take it out for a spin- a rear view is "normal"

I hope there is an option for the mirrors Ford uses. I really like having the convex mirror in the corner of the mirror. It really helps with seeing those normal blind spots.

I've never used them but have seen them. How well do they last?
The ones on my Nitro have been on since I bought it 4 1/2 years ago, still going strong even after car washes. No side of the double back tape failing.
And I have them on both sides; no blind spots at all.

I'm willing to bet your winters aren't as harsh as mine. Though, high pressure water can also cause issues..
