Can't tell if the Fusion's gauge cluster text is tiny

Or I’m just used to the cluster in my Silverado that has the same approximate text size as a Jitterbug phone.

The whole time I was driving the sun was glaring off of it like in the picture too.

It’s been a while since I’d driven the Fusion and I had forgotten just how well it handled and how much pep it has. The transmission tuning still makes me wanna hurt an engineer though.

Those are roughly on par with the gauges on every car I’ve owned, and much better than the Transformers-inspired instrumentation that Ford used to make (third-gen Focus/first-gen Fusion period). GM just likes to appease the AARP crowd.

Text seems small to me.

Fusions use a conventional torque converter 6-speed, but the tuning makes it shift more or less the second it hits boost so it falls on its face the second you actually start moving.

Yes. As is the headroom in this car when you option a sunroof.

I dunno, they seem smaller than every cluster I’ve experienced. Save maybe my E36.

Based on personal experience with both:

- The text in your Siverado is way too big for my liking.

- The gauge itself is too small in the Fusion.

Between the two it’s going to feel weird
