Way back when I was driving say a SBC, BBC, or just about any other car I have, I could hear what the engine was doing. My GTI would tell me as well. This 2.3 is mostly quiet through the rpm range. I’d like to glance down (at a legible tach not this 2.5-2.8 graph BS) to see where I’m at when downshifting around a corner, on-ramp, etc so I don’t overrev or lug. Also, I like to glance down to try to match the max torque curve to decide when to upshift Not just rev it by feel. I’m not racing just having fun.I have drove MT for years, I have never, not even when I was learning to drive, watched the Tach. My dad thought me how to change gears just using the sound of the engine.
Seriously, who watch the tach to change gears?
That stupid waste of display for goat modes does nothing for me And I have 3 clocks visible including my phone. While I’m at it can I also request the vehicle to quit asking me if I want to stay in Sport mode. I want it to default to sport, not lame mode…always.
