Do the analogue dials swoosh around on start up?
I’m the polar opposite, love the digital dials.

I know I'm in the minority when I say this but the normal dials and needles look far better than the digital dash.

I agree, i know it's an upgrade i could do but i won't be bothering...

I'd quite like a digital screen with a physical needle on it. As for the existing options, I like the dials here but I think that screen in the middle just looks pony

Reminds me of the 2nd car I owned back in 1983 - Mk3 Cortina.

I prefer the virtual dash other than in one important respect…..

My wife finds it v easy to read the dials from the passenger seat and gives me a running commentary on my speed.

This does not contribute positively to our otherwise happy marriage.

So my marriage is not unique in that respect then🙄
