Before I had HUD I thought it was the best idea ever.
All the vital info you need projected onto the windscreen right in the line of sight.
I then had HUD in a BMW, and it was pretty useful, plus the digital dials were ugly as sin and I hardly ever had to divert my gaze from the windscreen.
Shortly afterwards I got a mk8 Golf with no HUD. And did I miss it? Hell no! I really like the digital dash display in the mk8.
Another mk8 followed, and now an 8.5, none of which have had HUD. Still don’t remotely miss it.
If you’ve never had it, then why not treat yourself, it’s only £600 or so.
