2011 Mazda 2: I Want Different Gauges

One thing I still don't like about our 2011 Mazda 2 after 16,000 miles are the gauges. During my back-roads drive last week, I really wanted a bigger tachometer. This car is too much fun to have such a small tach.

I'm also tired of not having a temperature gauge; the car gives you the little blue light when the engine is cold. And it annoys me that the last pip on the digital fuel gauge flashes when the fuel range slips below an estimated 50 miles or so (the flashing is distracting), instead of triggering a dedicated fuel light.

However, I do find the all red color scheme easy on the eyes at night, even if it's a little low on contrast.

 

I am fully prepared to be flamed for saying this......BUT....why have a tach anyway? With such a small IP it would be nice if they just put an upshift light like I had on my old Escort 5sp. Its not like one looks at anything but where redline is anyway. Besides that most are sold with an auto and there is no need for a tach with an auto anyway. OK, flame away!...
