Default F Sport Instrument Cluster Poll

Just a random quick poll about whether you mostly keep the instrument cluster on the default mode or slide over the speedo to see the bigger screen while driving.

The novelty of it wore off quick, or maybe I just like the default screen too much. The layout is perfect and concise.

After 2 months, I’m starting to just stick with the default mode. I think long drives will be the only time I mode the speedo over from now on.

I really only slide it over as a "party trick" when showing friends the car. Or if I really want to see the boost levels if I'm really bored while driving. 95% of the time it's left alone

Same. I use it as a conversation piece.

99% of the time it's in its default setting

I only move it over when I have navigation going. I like to have just the small map on the side and my main screen is my audio, so the little extra "next turn" info helps. But other than that, it's just cool to show people. That and I really don't want to have to go replace it if something breaks

When I first got the car, I never moved it over. Now, I always move it over because I drive with my left hand on top of the steering wheel and I can control music with the right side steering wheel controls.

This. I really like being able to see the small map while also still having full-screen control of audio on the right.

I pretty much keep it locked onto my tire pressure, too, so I can just press one button to check that. I'd say I probably move the gauge to check the tire pressure like once a day, lol.

I honestly use the little info thing on the default mode. I scroll through that one for my tire pressures and mainly keep it on the gear view and mpg sometimes.

Default mode 99% of the time except when I'm bored out of my mind waiting on a red light.

If the car was able to slide it over and stay there (not reset every time the car shut off) I'd probably use the offset position with more info. But I got tired of having to push the button every time I started the car and eventually just gave up. Truth be told, I probably prefer the default position now as it has all the info I need. I only slide it over when showing someone the car or to check on something.

I keep it default most of the time- except like some others said, to show friends and co workers.

I like keeping the music sometimes on the left, and using the nav screen fullscreen when its on
