Those who currently own a phev, what do you /did you find best, sensors or the camera for reversing / parking?

Could you elaborate? In my experience the camera is fine at night even if the image Is a bit noisy, which is to be expected.nosense said:I have them both just to be safe. Camera is very hard to use at night time. Sensor isn't accurate at all times.
Rear sensors are available as an option on the 4h, in addition to the camera. I'm not sure how good they are as unfortunately I didn't know they were available and didn't spec them. But I would warn you that the front ones aren't good.Unfortunately, in the UK, the option is the G3 with rear only sensors or G4 with the camera and no sensors.

No but if you are looking at the camera on the dash there's far more chance of you missing them than if you are looking back and using the beeps as aids.
That's when I find it useful. For general parking and manoeuvring I prefer a good set of sensors. They do different jobs really, so when I think about it, it's surprising that Mitsubishi consider one superior to the other (I presume that must be the case, since the lower spec gets sensors and the higher spec gets only the camera).I've never had a reversing camera on a car before, but I'm working on the assumption that I will only use it at the end of the manoeuvre when I will be moving very slowly and just inches.

I'm not sure where to find this as I have looked on the website and in the brochure with no mention of optional sensors. The dealer said they do a 'dealer fit' version and quoted a rather high price. Dealer fit options are usually excluded for lease cars, I believe.

You can dealer fit options on lease after purchase but you should get approval from your lease company first, although I never bothered for my towbar on my last 2 lease vehicles.
