digi vs analog speedo

[TACO_KID]

ok, so at cruise 80mph on my needle speedo, the avg mph says 76mph (reset the avg mph while at cruise). wondering what non-XRS models read (perhaps due to the wheel size diff), or are these cars purposely set to read +4 on the needle speedo?

for my corolla S, i get a +3 MPH difference.

[msncorolla422]

my S reads about +2
some cars like my sisters volkswagen is 5% above what the speedo shows, idk why it does that, she told me and I forgot, idk why volkswagens do that

Mine reads +2 mph, hook up your GPS at the same time & see what that says. On the plus side, if you are going +5 mph over the speed limit you don't have to worry about getting pulled over.

since the needle had a thickness you cant read the speed perfectly but, mines is pretty accurate with my gps, i read either dead on or - 1km/h...Im on 225 45 17 with 3000 kms
