If I had known the headlight illumination field was going to be so poor, I would have never bought the car. I test drove and bought the car during daylight hours. By the time I was done with the paperwork at the dealership, it was dark. As I was driving home from the dealership, which is a 40 mile winding road trip, I noticed that I road markers and signs were barely noticeable, until I was almost upon them. I had to slow down before approaching a curve because I couldn't tell when it started until I was already upon it. Very dangerous at normal highway speeds and on curvy and hilly roads.
I had no problems as long as I used my high Beams, but on low beams, my field of illumination was cut by more than half. The horizon line was so sharp, anything above it was practically pitch black. I can't distinguish a Stop sign until it is approx. 75 yards away. My familiarity the surrounding area is probably the only thing that keeps me from being in an accident.
If I only drove around in the city, there would be no problem as ambient light illuminates the surrounding area. But on a dark country road, it is an accident waiting to happen. DON'T BUY THIS CAR!

Could not see very well at night. The right headlamp beam aimed way off to the right. I reported it to the dealership, they looked at it and said its fine. Idiots...
