Given most of us drive in Sport mode most of the time, isn't it a little annoying to have it brightly illuminated all the time in the turbo pod, right in your field of view - especially at night.
I guess over time its one of those things you get used to.
My old car had the central digital speedo and at Max illumination it was nothing but a distraction with the digital numbers changing as you drove along. 2 Weeks later you never noticed it.
Low and behold the car is gone and it I still look into the centre of the dash to look at the speedo...to me it seems more natural place to look and to be honest I worry sometimes I spend longer than normal trying to read the 500's speedo.
The shift indicator was great however - Tachometer mounted central to the steering wheel digital display scrolling left to right as the revs increased. The SHIFT was indicated by the backlighting changing from amber to red, reed line flashing red.
