Is there no way for the car to always display what gear I’m in?
I know I can hit the manual shift button on the shifter to change gears and it will display the gear for a few moments. This isn’t what I’m talking about.
I’m looking for that gear to constantly be displayed. Why? So I can know my vehicle.
So I can get a feel for what 4th gear can do vs 5th gear etc.
So I can look down and see if I want to downshift before this hill.
So I can look and see if its safe to downshift into this turn.
EDIT: its been very disappointing and really weird not to have a gear indicator. Is there really that big a change in driving in the past 20 years that most everybody doesn’t even care to know what gear their in? Do folks not have any connection with what their engine is doing? I don’t get it. Its fine, but I don’t get it.
So i ask, has anyone if you brilliant and persistent folks heard of or found a way to get the gear indicator to always display?
