So much promise, but totally unsafe to drive

I rented this car (not sure which sedan) for three days, and observed a number of problems with it. The most noticeable was the poor safety on two counts. One is that if you are driving uphill at night and you have on your dim headlights, the road in front of you for a FEW feet is clearly lit, but there will be a line across the road partway up, and above this line, it is pitch black! If you have an oncoming car, this can be a fatal hazard, and even without an oncoming car, I consider it an unacceptable safety hazard. The other safety problem I noticed was that the car doors lock when the car is in motion, and these CANNOT be overridden. The problem here is that if you are driving in a desert climate when it's hot, presumably the air conditioner will be running and all the windows rolled up. If you get into an accident, presumably the air conditioner will not keep running, or the manual door open lever working, and it is not clear that it will be possible for someone to open the door to extract a person. If you cannot open the door, then all the occupants (driver, passengers) can easily die of the heat in only 10 minutes. If they need to fetch a Jaws of Life, you're cooked. I routinely keep my door unlocked, while locking all other doors, for precisely this reason, which is what is recommended. It is not up to the CAR to make this decision. The occupants should make it. I rated the car one star because safety is paramount. I found the gearshift and some of the other controls (and their locations) less than intuitive, and drove for a fair distance in 2nd gear before I knew why the car was racing. The gear is displayed on the dash, but unless you happen to know that is what is being displayed, it's easy to be confused. The path of the gearshift lever was less than obvious to me. I also had trouble locating other controls, such as the lever that unlocks the gas cap. Since I was renting the car, I didn't have access to the manual to figure these things out. The size of the clock display was rather small when the radio was turned on. And when you are not operating the car, you can't see the clock at all. The trip meter button's function was less than obvious until I actually tried it, and I was wondering where the mileage is located, but I liked some of the information I got from pressing it repeatedly. The range in miles is useful, but if you put a gallon of gas into the tank, it doesn't increase the range. It just decrements more slowly. That was disconcerting. It's a rather spunky car compared to my 1992 Volvo, but it took some getting used to, in terms of handling. One feature I did like was the variable power steering assist: easy at slow speeds, stiffer at higher speeds. It was the only feature I really liked. Other than that, it was pretty nondescript, and the ride was rough: I could feel every bump and crack in the road. I don't like a cushy feel, but that was a bit much. The lack of ability to see the front end of the car was disconcerting.

This car is very reliable and is great in gas. The only thing I don't like is the car color.
