I HATE the left digital gauge. WTF NISSAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It sux, it looks corny and takes away from the Z car. To top it off for years we have enough people with enough issues to go analog. Everytime I get in my car. I feel like I have a fkin cyborg staring at me. And why silver??? I know in 2013, the blackened gauge will arrive as one of several weak azz updates but... did nissan really think it looked good in 09,10,11,and 12??? I generally hate digital gauges but have seen some nice ones this past year or two. Especially in the BRZ. The Z just doesn't cut it on the left-eye.
I will say this though. The overall layout is magic. But the left-eye kills from looks to functionality. My gas lights work but that METER operation is horrid. I wish I had an analog needle for the gas tank.
Rant over.
