2. Take a look at your different modes (sport/comfort/eco)- that to me is the definition of gimmicky. I don't need my dash playing video games on me when I change modes.

Like I said, for me, give me back the plain old analog gauges. Doesn't make your stuff bad - it just isn't for me and honestly does not feel fully developed. But once again - that's my opinion, not fact!
I totally understand your point of view. I do agree that they should have made the needles longer and numbered them. They definitely are too small in my opinion as well. However, I got used to it real fast - maybe it's my 20/20 vision .

As far as the different mode changes, I actually like them. It's a nice way to differentiate each mode that way I also never forget what mode I'm in when I'm on the highway and need to speed up to pass cars.

It's definitely a personal thing and none is better or worse than the other . Thanks for your input, buddy .
