Which cars have a large and easy to read speedo?
I have decided to upgrade from my 2005 Avensis to a 2017 Toyota Auris. The new car was fine but the speedo is too small for me to see easily. It is much smaller and buried away in a tube compared to my current model. I am tall and a bit long sighted so quite away from the dial. It seems to be a fashion to have these smaller dials surrounded by a lot of empty space and as it goes up to 160mph trying to read the kilometer dial is almost impossible to see clearly. What cars still have a sensible sized speedo?

You're not the first to complain about the unclear speedo on the Auris. You could place your phone in a holder and use an app to display the speed. Alternatively, we'd look for a Honda Civic. It has a much clearer speedo than the Auris and is a far better car in many other areas, too.
