digital speedo My speedo and rev is a needle. Is this a new addition? I think that was taken out of context from someone who said he'd prefer a digital speedo ( I sort of hope he was tongue in cheek). the lack of noise  ive gotten more speeding tickets on the highway in the 3 months since i started driving my i30 than i had in 2 years of driving my silvia, the "sports" exhaust would make it VERY clear if i was easing a bit more gas on, but in the i30, no noise the lack of steering wheel volume controls on the diesel sx is a bit rude, considering the Getz has it standard at only a little more than half the price Apart from that its brilliant and paying for itself with the massive savings on fuel each week  So are your fuel savings going towards your speeding fines?  |

Well ive just picked up my diesel premium a few days ago, and i must admit i love it!
the things i have noticed at the moment -
the seat belt locking mechanism is very close to the centre armrest
the lights seem a bit dim
at night, i can see some marks on the other side of the plastic that covers up the dials ! (going to try and get this sorted through the warranty)
once the climate control has been switched off, the fans still seem to be blowing at the level i switched them off at.
The above are being picky (other than the marks on the reverse of the plastic) and i am v happy with it.
Not wanting to detract from the original thread, so if appropriate please PM rather than reply on here, but does anyone else have the above with the climate control and also, if i were to leave the windows open and set the alarm, would the alarm go off (only reason i ask is my old car had a motion sensor and these were set off by the wind, but i had a manual control as to whether these sensors set of not.)
Thanks

I would like it to "bleep", as an audible confirmation of locking; in bright sunshine, (not UK at present!), it is sometimes difficult to see the single visual flash, as the locking confirmation.

Can't you hear the locks click at the same time? |

Can't you hear the locks click at the same time? Not in a noisy area, for re-assurance, I would prefer a high pitched "screech". |

My hearing is pretty ordinary these days but i can hear the door locks unlatch or latch even in busy car parks with traffic all around.
I hate cars that go "beep" or "beep beep". Especially annoying at night or in the early hours of the morning when someone's parked in the street nearby.
