The main problem was its slow refresh rate. I don't know if it was deliberate or not, as I guess fast changing numbers could be a problem too. The problem is that I could see my speed, but not the acceleration. With a needle, I see it going up or down, and how fast it is doing so, not with a number that refreshes every second or two. Very annoying when you want to control your speed precisely (no cruise control on the Twingo).

And the fuel gauge (with the the combined clock/trip/odometer, the only other thing on the dashboard) mimicked an analog gauge. The very first model had something like a row of 10 dots, that progressively turn off as the tank empties. Which was fine. Newer models had the same kind of gauge, but with fine graduations, but in reality, it only moved by big chunks, so same thing as the dots, except it hinted for more precision than it really had, which for me, is a negative.
