This Will Make It All Clear

What Car has produced the top ten cars offering the best visibility and the top ten worst visibility. The study was carried out following complaints that visibility was getting worse in new cars. Conventional safety assessments such as EuroNCAP crash tests don’t include visibility tests. Driver safety experts say poor visibility is becoming more of an issue as A and B posts get thicker in order to house equipment designed to improve safety which is a little ironic. The results of the survey are as follows:

Best Cars	Worst Cars
Model Score	Model Score
Subaru Outback 63.2%	Honda Civic 30.4%
Mercedes CLK Cabriolet 60.4%	Vauxhall Astra Estate 30.3%
Citroen C4 Picasso 59.8%	Dodge Caliber 29.5%
Citroen C6 59.2%	VW Touran 29.1%
Saab 9-5 Estate 59.0%	Seat Altea 28.6%
Renault Espace 58.4%	Alfa Romeo 159 S/Wagon 27.9%
Fiat Multipla 58.2%	Honda FR-V 27.6%
Ford Focus Estate 57.3%	Honda S2000 26.4%
Mercedes SLK 57.3%	Mazda MX5 Convertible 26.1%
Ford S-Max 56.2%	Alfa Romeo Spider 18.2%
