Speedo reading
Is it normal for the speedo to be reading around 10% over the actual speed on an MY07 STi ?
Around 30 - 40 mph it reads around 4mph over and at 70 - 80 mph it's reading around 6mph over. I know they tend to read a little high but never had it this bad on previous cars. I'm comparing this to the readings i'm getting on my Road Angel btw. Cheers |

Cheers my 04 wrx reads higher than the speed on my sat nav aswell. look on the bright side less likely to get a speeding camera fine:thumb: |
My 98 JDM WRX reads 80mph and the sat nav says 70mph!!

i was once told that motor manufacturers have to have the speedo showing more, as some how or another they could be liable for people speeding by just a couple of miles an hour, how true this is i dont know.

yes it usually is about 10% however if it is the other way around that is an offense.

Cheers peeps.
I knew that they normally read over but not had it read quite so high before,sounds like a common thing with subaru's though. Thanks again |
