I find it a nice touch.
You can have the classic display - std look speedo & rev counter with the info screen in the middle.
The info screen can be changed like the pre VC cars but can also have the map displayed in it
Then you can have other views where info is shown in the middle of the rev counter and speedo.
I like this view - I have mpg since refuel in one and the current song from my media in the other.
You also have the view change button where the whole display can become the map with just a digital speedo showing.
All In all a nice display to use.
