I use that one when my track wheels are on. Since its accurate with the shorter tires installed.

I use the digital all the time
Also noted that the readout was right on when I went thru one of those stand alone radar units they put up on the side of the road.

analog always. If you get in the habit of looking at the digital speed it takes your attention away from the tachometer and the road ahead.

I use the analog most of the time, but I am digging the digital now.

Due to my height, and the angle i sit at, the steering wheel blocks the analog. I've always used the digital.

I always use analog. I like seeing the needle climb up the numbers, lol. My digital is set on outside temp.

Analog. You know the steering wheel is adjustable, right? I can see it just fine.

Digital - it is more accurate in my car. According to GPS it is dead on, while my analog seems to read a couple mph higher at speed (for example, my digital can read 80mph while my analog reads like 82mph or so...) - kinda weird that they arent 100% in sync, but oh well...
