The smallish speedo has never bothered me. In fact if anything 86 has a very clean dash layout. No cheesy buttons on the steering wheel, just gauges and simple fall to hand stuff with a nice cruise control stalk down the side and the tacho slap/bang in the middle of the cluster. Ride quality for me was too soft and floaty hence the change to much harder spring rates and coil-over damper units in my own car...now THAT rides a little on the stiff side

Car reports are opinion based, and while Mike may like something less focussed, if you take that away from 86, then you lose the essence of the car IMO
