    Tonight on the drive home I realized that the thing I miss most about my MINI is the tach with a digital speedometer on it. I know people always talk about the large speedometer, but as a driver you never look there you looked at the little digital readout right in front of you. In my WRX the tach is centrally located which is nice, but when I want to know how fast I am going I have to look off to the right o the tach. It is a little thing, but it takes an extra half a second to see how fast I am going and that bothers me.

    I know what you mean. I like the tach with the digi speed right in front of the wheel. When I drive Babs Skooby the dash seems so odd to me.

    Tell you what I'll do, wanna trade my MINI for your WRX? :ihih:

    Love the fall over SUV warning! I think they also need a frequent fueling warning.
