Staggered setup shows 75mph when you're doing 68-69.

My rule of thumb was take 1 off the first digit in the speedometer and that's your real speed. so 75 is 7-1 (6) so 75-6=69 gps.

I ended up buying an ultragauge and use that for monitoring my speed, though it's about .5mph lower than gps speed. For $70 you get lots of other useful goodies, like a more accurate oil temp as on the 35 it's still not accurate either.

And I too think the 2016 is looking too much like the Matrix. I own a 2003 and like crossovers, but frankly my friends and I called it the 'mini-mini-van' for a reason. I'd likely get a 3GT before the 2016 X1 IMO. Looks and the lack of being rear wheel platform.
