My DC LTD is digital. I prefer dials guages though. I will be convering the cluster to a dial type, down side it I loose the low klm reading :(
I do like the digital/bar tacho on my XF though.

Yes I'm a bit partial to a nice clearly marked gauge too, a mate of mine years ago had an aftermarket digital tacho , the numbers were constantly bouncing around, the bloody thing was annoying.

I always thought of digital speedos as 80's try-hard items as well. I had one in my EB Fairmont, and while the novelty of it was ok, it was far from sporty... I think the ideal setup is both like in the FG Falcon. |

I personally prefer needle and dial. I find the digital ones distracting. Cheers and thanks for the interesting thread.

Speedo is fine digital; there is a number in the corner of the GPS screen. tacho is a different thing I had a digital tacho and rev limiter in a fiat x1/9 and it was useless you can't read the numbers fast enough to make the gear change before the limiter cuts in.

The setup in the FG is ideal, IMHO. I looked at the digital readout, and it was such a license saver. I had a Mondeo Titanium for a week, and got a fine due to the speedo being hard to read. The AU2 I have now is OK, but I wish it had a digital readout :(

Digital in the boosted FG's can not keep up with the acceleration.
A quick glance can tell you that you are close to the limit with the analogue. You have to actually "read" the digital. |

The work Commodores, and my FG are all digital. Looking at needles feels weird now...
