Also has instant fuel economy via a bar graph.

What annoys me is that engine temp is on its own screen, but outdoor temp is always displayed in a huge area with tons of wasted space. If you want to know if the car's warmed up, you have to cycle through all the displays, and then cycle back to whatever you want to be on.

It would have been so easy to fit outdoor temp and engine temp on every screen, or just replace outdoor temp with engine temp. I think I can tell if its hot or cold outside relatively reliably all on my own. It seems like a major oversight on a performance car. I want to know if it's safe to floor it!

No. You just get the bar graph on the one screen in the electronic display.

One of my friends remarked that it looks like you have Johnny Number 5 from the movie "Short Circuit" looking at you. The funny part is that it kind of does.
