Default Digital or Analog Speedometer

Which do you use and why. I personally prefer the digital speedometer.

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

I don't really look at the speed, except on the highway.

The digitial is really nice so that when the copy pulls you over and asks you 'Do you know how fast you were going.' you can tell him exactly the speed you were going. Though expect to get tickets that way.

The analog is really in a bad place though, you would have to be a 3' person to see under the steering wheel and be driving with your hands at 10 and 2. No one handed driving or your arms in the way...

Digital because it's that much easier. But when racing, I look at analog just to see it soaring up with every gear. Fun.

I'm 6'1 and hove no problem seeing mine , even driving in pimp mode with one hand on the top of the wheel. The only thing i cant see is the VDC off and slip light when i have the wheel up high. If the wheel is positioned low , i can see everything.
