digital Speedometer?
I can't seem to find a answer if the new 2018/2019 Fit has a digital speedometer or not. Seems a really strange thing not to have with the center display in the speedometer right there.

I haven seen at least in america(us,canada, and mexico).
But I do not think so it is to expensive to hace it. Not even the accord has it so it makes no sense. |
It's an analog speedometer in my 2018 Fit, but there is a separate small cruise control readout which gives a digital readout of the speed which you set the cruise control for. I would guess speed information is all digital but it's converted to analog for the analog speedometer which Honda chose to use.

What’s the appeal of a digital speedometer anyway? I find them gimmicky and annoying, personally. |
I forgot whether I saw this with my 2010 or 2016 Fit but there was a code you could put into the radio to get a readout of the speed. I read it somewhere here on fitfreak.

I don't get it either, but I saw an article not too long ago saying most kids nowdays can't read analog clocks. For the kids who are interested enough to actually buy a car instead of burying their face in the phone all day, a traditional dash might not make any sense- like they literally might not be able to read it.

I guess in my case, I have a lifetime of reading analog gauges, so I don’t see an advantage to a digital speedometer. That was one of the things I hated about the older Civics with the “split level” dash with a digital speedometer and an analog tach below. It looked like Honda was trying too hard to be clever and it didn’t quite work Then again, I still wear an analog watch, so what do I know? Besides, digital speedometers are so “80’s”. |

the large speedo makes it easier to see while driving into the sun. my Golfs can toggle it but i don’t find myself using it. it’s always on oil temp.

You can complain about baby boomers all you want but it's the younger generation that doesn't turn out on election day nearly as much as the older folks...

I'm 35, but I can read an analog speedometer. I bet anyone who cares enough about cars to be posting on a forum can read them too, and they aren't the people I was talking about.
The S2000 is a fine car, but there are plenty of sports cars with analog gauges, too. I had a 92 NSX from 2007 until last year, and yes, that's a generation older than your car, but the last time I checked out the Porsche section at the car show, they had an analog tach right in the middle. Really it comes down to current style and personal preference unless you either prep the car for serious racing... or can't read a clock. I was all set to get into a long winded political debate, until I reminded myself this is a car forum, so I'll just say this. Of course boomers caused problems the current generation has to fix. Every generation faces problems the last generation caused- the whole Cold War came right out of the end of WW2. Your kids and mine will probably be posting on a hovercar forum about how much we sucked for the problems they end up with thirty years from now. They might even complain about how their own kids prefer retinal projections instead of traditional digital speedometers. |
A needle-style speedometer actually gives you more information. You can read speed by the needle's position, and you can read acceleration/deceleration by the needle's movement.

As usual boomers, aka the people who have caused literally all of current America's problems, continue to convince themselves they're superior to groups they are worse than in every single regard.

I was surprised and dismayed that we are raising a generation incapable of telling time on an analog clock. More upsetting to me was that evidently SCHOOLS in England are removing analog clocks and replacing them with digital, because kids can't tell time. Uh... How about the SCHOOLS TEACH the kids how to tell time? Instead of supporting their ignorance? I remember, pretty young, actually having grade school teacher spend 10-20 minutes teaching our class how to tell time. It was far from the hardest lesson we ever had, I think in about 10 minutes the entire class could "tell time". Personally? I'm "old school" I like analog watches, traditional speedometers. That isn't to say I don't own both analog and digital, but knowing how to read both, shouldn't be something lost in our culture. Shameful. |
i luv my analog clock in my garage cause i can tell the time from the end of my driveway. can’t do dat with digital.. ofcourse i could ask siri..

we have a digital speedo/analog tach in the XB2 all in the center and it certainly is a different look and I think the digital is kinda cool, like I'm riding with George Jetson over Little Dipper School ...

Or, we could have simply looked at the photos on Honda’s website. |
My 2012 civic had a digital speedo. I was concerned I would not like it. I actually ended up liking it better than the analog counterparts.
