Useless or Redundant features
 
Driving my car last night when I realised that I never pay any attention to the analogue speedometer. It's the rev counter and the digital speedo that I find I am drawn towards. Is it just me or does anyone else think the analogue speedo a waste of space.

Agreed, total waste of space. I'd rather see some extra gauges there, oil temp and pressure, and god willing one day from the factory, a boost gauge.

HA! I'm the opposite, I ignore the digital speedo and only watch the revs and the analog speedo.

I have always been a little suspicious of digital speedo's since the late 80's when they really started getting used in cars. They were horribly inaccurate for the time. That's why they went away for nearly a decade before coming back.

That's interesting as I found the digital spot on as I have been through speed traps and the speeds up on the displays matched.

Yes please do explain how foglights are useless... do you not have fog where you're from?! Fog lights saved my ass from running over wildlife countless times.

Someplace on this forum there is an explanation for why it exists. There are some places where the analog is required. Where those places were I do not remember.

That shadowy thing with the impossibly small numbers hiding in the neither regions of the gauge cluster.

Some base models don't even have the digital speedometer.
