temp gauge isn't a gauge - it just shows cold, okay, and too hot. I find this stuff is usually electrical, even though "temp" gauge should be about temp.

People worry a lot about this "gauge", even though you do not see a lot of posting about actual overheating (steam, smoke, broken engine, car let me down), which means it doesn't happen much to these cars or you would know about it already; mine fluctuates quite a bit, but I know the cooling system is robust and functions well, so it's more a meaningless distraction than anything.
