I'v been relying on the electronic speed gauge so much that when i was sitting in the avalon, i started reading the temperature.. and I was going 75 the whole time I dont think i read the speed from regular one ONCE yet in this whole year of driving the Z

 

i do. The only time i use the regular one when i'm almost out of fuel and it flash up the "how many miles before you run out of gas"..heheh

 

I'm the same way and hate living here up north when it drops below like 38 it changes to the temp and I'll have to change it back to the speed. Especially on a day when the temp fluctuates and keeps changing it.

 

the ICY blinking?

 

I *ALWAYS* use the digital speed gauge..its so convient for me in terms of shifting or going from a stop to know that I still have momentum without needing to clutch in. However, I feel like maybe this is a bad habbit to rely on the digi gauge.

 

i do it all the time. it's just so much easier/safer and quicker than looking at the analog gauge. and from my experience it is dead-on in terms of accuracy.

 

electronic speedo was the reason for having that guage I think...

EXTREMELY easy to check your speed when the radar finder beeps, not to mention it is better for shifting reference.

 

I never use the digital speedo.

same here, because it's easier to see "**** I am doing 82, I should slow down" than "I'm somewhere around 80" at a quick glance. I will be upset if I have to lose it for my boost / etc gauges.

 

I been usin the digital religiously since I first got the car, I love it, really convenient. I us the regular speedo. every once-in-a-while.

 

digi here too and the radar is right above it for quick references

 

The way I drive my arm blocks the analog speedo. I am glad Nissan put the digital speedo in there I been using it right off the lot...

 

I don't know about everyone else here, but there is something different about seeing 130 read out on a digital speedometer vs. the analog. You see the analog speedometer needle up high in the ranges, and it doesn't phase me much, but then I glance at the computer read out, and for some reason, the clear depiction of how fast I am going really hits home.

 

Yep, digital speedo too here, it's just so convenient.

 

dead on? yeah right. Unless nissan has changed it and upgraded it, the digi speedo is normally off unless at a steady speed.

next time you get in your car, floor it in a low gear and watch how much the digi lags. Or, slam the brakes real hard and youll see it lag, you can be stopped and itll still be dropping from 12mph or so.

yeah, i check it when my radar goes off, but other than that i use the analog unless im going really fast, 100+. Its good to have two readings.

 

^ yep, mine lags too. I don't need 3 ways to determine my land speed though, ever.

 

Correct...Pisses me off sooooo bad. other than that I love it. Like others said it's right under the radar.

 

love the digital.

 

I mainly use the analog speedo in town and the digital speedo out on the open road. But then again, what I have displayed on the digital gauge (usually it's the temperature) usually depends on what I'm doing or what mood I'm in. For instance, if I'm getting ready to gas up, I'll switch to the average mpg mode, just to see how it compares with the mileage that I calculate. Thus far it's been pretty accurate, assuming that I reset the average mpg once I've refilled.

 

Rarely use either
