Default Which Sport Gauge Do You Prefer?



Which gauges do you prefer for your sport and sport + settings?

1) White with blue needle
2) Black with yellow bar needle

The thing I like about the white with blue needle is when you downshift to a lower gear (in somewhat high RPM), you'll see the blue needle leaving a red effect which fades away. I think that's pretty cool.

The black with yellow bar has the oil and coolant temp in the center which is pretty cool as well. It also has the bars that indicates that it's time to shift.

Let me know which gauge you prefer!

if my recollection of #2 is correct, the biggest issue with this display is that the the MPH numbers are significantly smaller than #1.

The numbers is really not that much smaller but it has a tendency to get lost among all the other display items - the Post #1 picture is a good example.

Sport S+ displays my favorite gauge (yellow bar), but I keep usually in Normal so I appreciate the Sport S+ more when I turn it up!

I always do Sport & Sport+ : Black with Yellow Bar. Seems like the steering is tighter/firmer in this setting which I prefer.

I'm quite the opposite. I messed with all the settings and options first and foremost.

I love the white and blue gauge as they match my car combination. USB with grey (almost white) interior.

The redline function of the yellow is neat though. Also like movement of the oil temp.

Is there any particular reason why you keep it in the Normal Mode as compared to the Sport+ Mode?

To appreciate it more when putting it in Sport S+ in terms of the gauge visuals and throttle response.

I like the yellow bars. It looks more aggressive to me.

Interesting enough, it looks like it's evenly split. I would agree that most would say that the yellow bars looks more aggressive. It is also the default setting.

I just like the fact that the gauge is the same colorway as my RCF. I change it around occasionally.
