Interesting, every single car I've ever driven over here (Europe) has had that slider/knob, I'm pretty sure it's required by law. Newer cars with xenon headlights above a certain wattage must have self-leveling + headlight washers to be road legal.

I have family in Europe and visit quite often, never noticed that. Most of the time I get stuck with a Renault even when I try to reserve a nicer rental. I don’t know how those cars are legal. It’s like someone put a car engine in a broken shopping cart.

Well I don't know which Renault you have had, but the Austral and Arkana have a button instead that cycles between 5 different levels.

I wouldn't call them shopping carts either but if you come from the US you might have different size expectations.
