Dashed hard to read

I HAVE a VE Commodore SV6 ute and the numbers on the speedo are too small. I cannot read them unless I use my reading glasses, which I do not require for driving, being long-sighted. The designers of modern cars must all be 20-somethings with perfect eyesight and apparently it's not in their brief to design an instrument cluster for all to use. The whole instrument panel, including the radio and heating controls, follow the same line. I nearly passed on buying this vehicle because of this. The salesman could not understand, but he was a 20-something!
