For those who have this option, if you had your druthers would you get it again, or is it nice-to-have?

Can't imagine not having it. It was in a "really really nice to have" league on 3RX, but on 4RX it's a must-have feature, insanely useful when used together with adaptive cruise control and LKA systems. Also very nice to have the "in your face" warnings when PCS tell you to "BRAKE!"

Would hate to not have it. A great feature for sure.

I have it on my '13 Rxh and really miss it when driving another vehicle. Can't wait to see how it has been improved when I get my '16 Rxh next week!

I had it on 3RX and it is a HUGE improvement in the 4RX and half the price too!

Love it.

Didn't think I wanted it or would ever use it. I was so wrong... it's one of my favorite features!

I also thought it was something I wouldn't use, until someone on these forums pointed out that on the non-F Sport models the HUD is the only way to get digital speed readout. That's something I really like to have in a car, and like others here I find the HUD extremely useful. If I were shopping for a new non-F Sport RX it would be on my must-have list.

Turn signal indicators in the HUD would have been a nice feature to include.

When they said color HUD, I expected more than white and blue. Are there other colors??

Red in the tachometer if you have it turned on.
Yellow in the lane keeping assist. If you car veers off to the left or right of your driving lane, then the lane display on that side would turn yellow in addition to the vibration in the steering wheel to alert you.

Red/yellow may appear elsewhere, and there may be other colors that may appear to alert you if you do something unusual.

I notice that the speed limit symbol changes size at times so the HUD display may be a high-resolution screen that the layout/appearance can be changed by new programming, instead of some fixed template of symbols.
