My Seat Leon has a digital dashboard, by pressing the "VIEW" button on the steering wheel it rotates between several different layouts, which can be customized.

I normally just have two normal dials, with a GPS map in the middle, fuel gauges to the left (because the standard place doesn't line up properly) and a media display to the right (shows what song/podcast is playing and the progress of it)

I can make my entire dash be a giant GPS map display, with only a small digital speedometer readout, but that is annoying.

These new digital dashboards offer plenty of customizations, but the formfactor should be the same as a normal dash

I had a 97 prelude sh 5 speed. Great Lil car and a lot of fun to drive. But then I got my hands on an 02 s2000. Funnest car to drive I've ever owned.

I had an s2000. My redline was about 9000 rpm and the gauge cluster was lit up orange, but lit up in such a way that it didn't really look like it was back-lit. It was an amazing gauge cluster.

The best looking dials on a dashboard I have ever seen is the dashboard from the Saab 9000 CSE.

This isn't exacty what I remember, but close enough:

I love the green and orange colors, the car diagram, the turbo, temp and fuel dials are just great.

Granted I was a kid when we had that car, but the colors were beautiful

I've dailyed six manual cars and two of them didn't have a tach (both Fords?), and one of those was too old to even have a shift light. Honestly, even when I was new I barely looked at the tach when I had one anyway, and I didn't really start to look at until I learned how to really get good at rev-matching for heal-toe and dropping gears. I just shift by ear and ass like 90% of the time.

Gen Z: Can't read analog clocks. "What speed am I going? There are no numbers!"

Wow, I didn't even notice the displayed values

Lmao, high beams, no seatbelt at 108kph for a 30kph speed limit. Ooof.

Don't they sell add-on projector Huds which snake a wire down to OBD-ii port?

No, I'm building a replacement unified speedo/tach for my motorcycle, the tach is huge and analog, speed is digital in the middle.

Nah man, if you see your tach wobble, you know you've got a carb jet issue, or dirty injectors.

Of course it doesn't spark, is electric

I use it because on my bike I need to set the correct minimum RPM after cleaning my carbs. Also sometimes I want to go faster than I should in 6th, a quick glance at the tach tells me how much headroom before redline I've got.

Can you give examples?

Both clock and auto?

Because other than time, I'm having a hard time seeing what else a clock is telling you by being analogue.

It’s a screenshot from MKBHD’s latest video.

Is it detecting a car in front as well?

An advantage of a proper dial is that you can instinctively see the change in speed by how quickly the needle moves.

So does this one.
