I know you can switch to the digital display, but increments are ridiculous for low speeds. Between 20 and 40 it is very difficult to see/judge what speed your doing.
I am now on a second speed ticket for doing 35 in a 30. Trading my audi in for something else now.
I know I shouldn't be speed and perhaps I should drive around in 3 gear to stop me creaping over the speed limit..

If you don't mind me asking, what car are you trading it in for?

I agree that there is no point in the B8 A4's speedometer being scaled to 180 but there wasn't really much point in the B7's being scaled to 160 either.
My complaint it that it's scaled to 180, evenly graduated, only uses 270 degrees worth of the circle AND (my biggest complaint) 0 is at the 6 o'clock position.
That puts 60 mph at the 9 o'clock position and 120 mph at 12 o'clock.
I'm getting used to it now but it's still ridiculous.

But this is certainly not sufficient reason to avoid a car, let alone to turn it in

we just got ours and my wife likes the speedo orientation, but i find it way too small in the speed range you normally find yourself in. how can we set up to get a digital display of speed? my wife has the manual and isn't letting me read it...

Push the Reset button on the wiper stalk a few times until it shows the digital speedo. Use the +/- buttons on the same stalk to select what you want in the area under the digital speedo.

I assume this is done through the trip computer? So can be done only on P+ & Prestige?
