. . . which do you use?
Since Buick gave me two ways to monitor my speed, I've always run the car with the digital speedometer showing, and have used that. The analog gauge (blue-lit, with a red needle) is great-looking, and I wouldn't want GM to remove it. But with the digital readout, you know exactly how fast or slow you're going -- not "a notch or two above 40," but "43 mph." Plus the other readouts on the Driver's Information Center are not something I want up there all the time. The mpg readout is depressingly low for a 4-cylinder car; I don't have any desire to look at the tire pressure readouts, and average speed driven, or the oil life monitor; and I don't have navigation on my car.
How about you?
