March 30, 201610 yr The Subaru Legacy, Ford Fusion and Toyota Camry made it into the “marginal” category, where they share space with the aforementioned Bimmer (plus the 2 Series), Audi A4, Acura TLX, and Lincoln MKZ. Earning an “acceptable” rating were the Mazda6, Infiniti Q50, Nissan Maxima, Honda Accord, Lexus ES and IS, Volkswagen Jetta and CC, Subaru Outback, and Volvo S60.
March 30, 201610 yr Author Reading into it "acceptable" is nothing to brag about. I always felt my 89 Justy had better headlights then my 05 Outback.
March 30, 201610 yr This would explain why my 83 wagon's low beams outperform my 07 OBW's low beams. High beams are no comparison however. As for a few of the qualms mentioned by the commentators about not being able to see on a windy country road, the fogs on my 07 help immensely with corner lighting while using the low beams. Twitch
March 30, 201610 yr I personally feel like hight of the light is a major factor. My 96 suzuki x90 had really good headlights. I also feel like the "pretty" design alot of manufacturers go for is probably difficult for an engineer to get all that light going the right direction. The headlights on the x90 are pretty round so it seems like it would be easier to make them work.
April 1, 201610 yr The lights on my '05 are the worst I've ever had in any car. Silly for such an otherwise great car. Edited April 1, 201610 yr by 9098
April 1, 201610 yr Author In wet weather i need to use the fog lights just to see lane markings. I may have to mount driving lights or something as they are useless, and they are aimed right
