The speedometer face on this car is most difficult to read. For some strange reason it goes to 160 MPH, never mind there is no way the car would go this fast. Also, markings are too close together and then every 20 MPH starting at 20MPH. Most of the commonly posted speeds are not even on the speedometer face. Our 98 S 70 is easily read as have been our older Volvo's. Is there a way to change the face to become more readable? This is especially a problem in daylight.

For a company supposedly concerned with safety, Volvo fell far short on this one.
