The numbers indicated on the speedo go up by 20, but there are hatchmarks in-between for every 5. I don't find it difficult to read at all.

When the dealer was showing me the interior features, he pointed out the 'ESC off' switch and told me to use that if the car happened to get hung up in deep snow, to allow the wheels to spin free. I'll check my owners manual to confirm/refute that.

Here's the Touring's speedo:

Thanks for that info. Good to know.

Thanks for the picture, that clears things up.

Anyone had trouble getting parts when taking the car in for repairs? I understand it takes a long time? Or is that true for any car?

EDIT: Also, do the headlights go off when you shut the car off? or do you have to remember to turn them on and off every time you get in or out?

The lights will turn off after a few minutes, if you push the lock button twice so that the car beeps they turn off right away. You won't kill your battery by leaving them on, no worries.
