The speedo sucks !
The analog speedometer is lame and pretty much useless..
difficult to see and not in the best position. The digital readout is fine.. they should have given us oil temp gauges, oil pressure, etc... instead of a redundant hard to see analog speedo.. or is it just me and my cataracts.. ?

I forget it even exists. I seldom notice it, but when I do I'm just reminded me of how useless it is... Hell my last dd didn't even have a speedo...

You're not at all wrong in your assessment.

I thought these comments were off and that it would be kinda useful.
Then I bought one. I was completely wrong, it's next to useless.

The only time I look at it is to see if the digital readout and the analog reading are the same on long cruises, or just to remember how useless it is for information, with such small numbers for quick glances and oddly spaced. I do enjoy the digital readout though, it's my first car with one of those.

If your phone is small enough, it seems like a good place to mount it for reading your gauges in Torque.
