personally, i like the analog gauge for my temp indicator.
it's more useful a warning and diagnostic tool, than the idiot light that calls your attention when your car is already overheating, and not when it's about to.
.
this made me incomfortable also before. but
aren't cars supposed to be smart these days, they even post warning messages to say check this and that. so maybe it will say, check your cooling system instead of your car is already overheating
