That big speedometer in the middle...

On my '11, both the digital and analog are off by ~4-5 mph. This is documented pretty well in other posts, but what I don't like about it is that the odometer is off as well (as validated by GPS and mile markers on long drives). Artifically reduces the warranty period (but i guess, on the plus side, that means I can do some engine tuning all the sooner!).

Love
I LOVE the ginormous speedometer. When I told someone at work I was thinking of buying a MIni (haden't been in one, yet), he asked me "Why? You know they stick the speedomoter in the middle of the dashboard!"
#1 The dash not being so big, the middle is close enough!
#2 You can set your speed on the tach, if you need to!
#3 It sets the Mini apart from the pack
It's soo campy and cool!!

I have to admit i can read my speed by RPMs depending on gear but i use the big speedo quite often to make sure im not speeding.
And all cars are going to come with a fluctuation of how the speedo is going to read your MPH. Im sure every car company would want your readings lower rather than higher cause it could cause some liability when you dont think your speeding when you really are.

A good racer can tell what speed they are going within 2-5mph without a speedo. Speedos are not even allowed in motorcycle racing, no mirrors or brake lights either so you are really focused on speed differential. I'm not a good racer anymore but I pretty much only check the center speedo on the JCW if a cop is around .

My '99 Chevy and '10 Chrysler are spot-on with the speedos. The majority of new cars are (as an aside, automotive magazine reviews typically have 'actual' and 'indicated' speedo data in their reviews / specs).
