Letter imperfect

I READ with interest your reply to my letter criticising the instruments in the VE Commodore (Carsguide, June 19) in which you mentioned the larger digital speed readout that was part of the trip computer. Personally I prefer a needle moving because it's quicker to see, though the graduations are illegible for long-sighted people, as I mentioned. In the central area, I like to have the trip computer active even if I have to squint or put on glasses to read it. My issue is with the size of the markings in the instrument panel and the central radio/heater area. The trip computer has the same problem in that all of the numbers are unnecessarily small. A simple reprogramming job could increase the digit sizes, but please, don't let the twentysomething designers do it.
