digital speedo... the lines on the analog are too close together. I really love that the tach is in the middle too.

In all seriousness, I use the regular speedo. The digital meter I like to keep on Tire Pressure or Gas Mileage

I use the regular speedometer, and have the temp on the digital and switch to miles till empty when the gas is getting low. I will have to try the digital speedo for a while to see how I like it.

Use the digital speedo all the time. When I drive my Honda suv I find myself looking at the top of the dash for the digital readout instead of at that big circle with the long needle that moves around from number to number.

I hate that feature that tells you 'ICY' when it gets below freezing. I know when it's ****ing cold, you don't need to add an alert to keep me over-informed. And, as if matters couldn't be worse, it doesn't give up! I click the button to bring it back to the speedo, and a few minutes later it's still telling me the temperature.

I use the DTE gauge. I never look at my speedo...if I'm passing everyone, I could get a ticket. If everyone is passing me, I'm probably going too slow...

When I had a Z, I ALWAYS looked at the analog gauge up front. It was more in my line of sight than the digital anyway.

I am so used to the digital readout that when driving our tC, my eyes always go to center dash looking for it. Force of habit.
