Best Car Add-On: Rearview Cameras

Ford

Rearview cameras won’t be standard equipment until at least 2014. In the meantime, this is an option worth the extra cost: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates 18,000 people a year are injured in back-over accidents.

Many current models include backup cameras in the rearview mirror on higher trim levels, but otherwise expect to pay a grand or two extra for the feature in a package or combined with the navigation system. It’s rarely offered as a stand-alone option.
