I pretty much stay on digital speedo. The icy thing needs a way to be disabled badly and they just need to put a digital speedo in as stock equipment.

Digital here as well, I think its more safe than the analog, its just a glance a way from the road.

I think the reason Nissan had "ICY" start at 37 is maybe for the chance there is an iced over bridge... Which could happen (with a hell of a windchill), maybe they dont want to be taken to court. Even though its an idiot device, you know someone would try to do it...

I use either speedo or mpg. I usually like to use mpg to try to achieve the advertised 20mpg on the street which btw I'll tell you, never happens!!!!!

There's an easy solution to the ICY predicament, actually. Only, you'd lose the ability to tell temperature. We've just got to figure out where the thermometer is.

I only keep mine on the speedo because it's an ex-American car and here in Canada I must stay at 39mph on our main roads. (60km/h)
