What owners wrote
The headlights on this car are too bright or not adjusted correctly. I have been high beamed on many occasions. 9 times one evening, 13 times another evening, and 17 times on another evening. This is a safety concern not only for me but for the other divers as well. I have complained to subaru every time this has happened to me.
The low beam's angle on the self-leveling headlight units is too flat blinding oncoming traffic (every other car and third truck flashes their high beams at me). The implementation of the handsfree bluetooth protocol is inadequate as incoming call volume is too low (even after increasing speaker volume to maximum). It makes handsfree operation of your mobile phone all but worthless while handsfree operation is required by law in my state. Both issues are safety issues as far as I am concerned.
