I absolutely love it. I wish there were more options, however. Nonetheless, I have the brightness set to max and couldn't imagine the car without it.

My biggest gripe.
During the day I have to crank up the intensity just to be able to see a washed out green HUD display while wearing polarized sunglasses.
At night it looks good, but blocks the view of the potholes you have to dodge here in PA.

The fact that I don't have to look down to see my tach or speedo is why I've grown to love it. Less distracting for me to look down and worry about speeding when it's right in front of me.

Like others have said, it's a little annoying with polarized sunglasses as the brightness almost seems like 1/2, but when I drive this car I just have gotten in the habit of wearing non-polarized sunglasses haha.

Instead of sacrificing the health of your eyes, get a pair of polarized sunglasses that have the polarization pattern rotated 90 degrees. To see what this looks like, rotate your sunglasses 90 degrees while you’re looking at the HUD (or your smartphone).

+1 Way too easy to be "accidentally" doing 100+ in this car in the time it takes to look down.

I feel the same. I really like the HUD and like to use the screen that shows me speed, rpms, g's, etc. Now that Iphone Waze is compatible I keep that on my big screen, keep the music selection in front of me and use the HUD for everything else.

I use it for everyday driving but when I'm doing actual high rpm pulls I focus on the odometer cause I'm not use to the shift light.
