I think digital is more functional...but I think the analogue fits the aesthetic and driving experience of the car.

Digital - the other choice is too busy and needlessly distracting.

Another question - does anyone not use the blue color scheme? There is a gold like choice but it looks pretty blah to me...

I stick with blue. I tried gold in my driveway and it seemed kinda gross so I switched it back before even driving with it on.

I spend more than a week driving with digital hoping that it will grow on me. Back to the analog.

Yup, your handle checks out

Stupid question: '22 UL. Do I have the option of the analog speedo, or is that just an F Sport thing?

Dunno. But if I find out I have it, I'll probably at least try it. Where do you switch it? Oh, I see it in the picture. Duh.

You have it, the only thing you don’t have is the power meter.

FSport has NO option for an analog speedo.

Made the switch. Big thanks the dr3wski for putting up the picture so I could do so.

I like the analog speedo much better. Not just for that method of reading speed, although after a lifetime of practice with analog speedos, I find it much more intuitive (and still have the digits in the head-up display anyway).

But because it just makes for a more visually pleasing gauge cluster. I was consciously bothered ever since I got the car that I just didn't like the styling of the gauge area with the giant 2-digit number in the middle. It just looked clunky, geometrically graceless... and like sub-luxury styling. I like looking at the pod much more now. Again, thanks.
