I, too, keep the information display on the outside temperature almost all of the time. Occasionally, I will check the mpg reading. The altimeter, in particular, is next to useless. Even right after calibrating it, the altitude readings can be off by a good margin.

I would have thought that, even if you are taller, your arms would be longer and you would still be able to reach the buttons without the need to lean forward much, if at all. I'm about 6 feet tall, and my shirt sleeve measurement is 34 inches. If I reach for the buttons, my index finger just reaches the buttons without a need to lean forward.
