It's a lot of modern cars unfortunately
It's to stop people getting into a blind panic when the needle goes a bit higher than they are used to. My Celica had it (albeit in digital form) and the MX5 had it too (from 1994!)
Poodle says it's linear, I'm inclined to subscribe to that since it seemed to wander in traffic this summer...
Oh fair enough then, out of all the cars I've owned so far only the Golfs have had that sort of system!
The 306 definitely doesn't, used to watch the 1.8 temp bounce around with the high speed fans on and off in traffic. And even the Vectra one never hits 90, sits between 80 and 85 eventually (and proved with scan tool), as said though I would prefer it to sit at 90 so it looked right.
