Did it really have mph on the speedometer?
- filoleg 7y agoConsidering it was a civic hatch (which is a model that isn’t sold in the US iirc), i bet it was in kmh and the parent just conerted it to mph for the HN audience.
- marktangotango 7y agoI assumed it was a US market car since it was sold through AAFES to US service members. It was mph and kph though. And there were a fair numbere in the US, I haven’t seen any newish ones lately though.
- teh_klev 7y agoEuropean cars, or those built for the European market generally have both MPH and KPH on their speedometers. My '92 imported (from Japan) Legacy Turbo Estate (man I loved that machine) had both sets of speeds.
- ahartmetz 7y agoOnly UK models have both AFAIK. Continental European cars have km/h only.
- teh_klev 7y agoI've seen plenty of Golf's and Mercs (left hand drive, built in continental Europe) with both.
- blattimwind 7y agoNot standard.
- ilikehurdles 7y agoI've seen it on German cars in the US, but not in Germany.
- extropy 7y agoProbably depends on the manufacurer. From last ~10 or so rental cars in EU can't remeber last time I saw one with mph on the dial.
