i just purchased this car and cannot believe the dash board lights. they praise this car for reliability, so that is why i purchased this car. however the speedometer and all the other lights are so small you can't read them. also, with the running lights on the lights on dashboard turn pink on black. without the running lights the numbers are a pale gray on black. with the dial to brighten...that is a joke. i am worried about the safety of this oversight. i wish i had realized this before i purchased this car. i am a senior citizen, but i have pretty good eyesight.
