    I guess I’m in the minority: I prefer to see my speed as a number instead of a dial.

    Yes, it does need to be in front of the driver.

      Renault have been doing this for ages. I had a 2009 Mégane which gave the speed as a digital number. Fuel and oil temps were bars to either side. Revs was a physical dial.

      It was such a great car, just a shame about the engineering…

      An advantage of a proper dial is that you can instinctively see the change in speed by how quickly the needle moves.
