Tbh, I'm not saying I'm perfect. But in my 306 which I obviously know well, I don't need to glance down to see speed/gauges/warning lights. I can see whats happening in my peripheral vision of the gauges.
And again, how can you NOT notice, WITHOUT looking down, a very bright blue light on your dash! On a real dark night I dim my dash lights and its so bright it bugs me!
That Audi system is simply stupid, well its clever, but should not be fitted to any car with a driver. Although...Audi drivers...maybe they should fit a "being a cock" gauge! Haha
The 307 autodim mirror on my 306 doesnt go dark unless its dark AND theres bright lights behind.
Sounds like the vauxhall one was just rubbish. And in which case, I dont like them if they dont work properly!
No we don't need a rant section, people whingeing constantly just depresses other people. Yes, I know.
Maybe you have more peripheral vision, I certainly cant see dash lights in mine.
I cant even see the big red stop light pop up on the 306 unless I'm looking at the dash at the time. The wing mirror on the Vectra worked with the auto dim mirror, they both ran off the same system, not sure what you think is wrong with it? Its the Focus without the auto-dim wingmirror.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking this.
Tom I'm not sure if it's because the focus has given you a confidence boost but a few things you've said in the past few days have shocked me about you & driving!
Lol, if anything the Focus has made me a much safer driver! No speeding, not fast enough to make dodgy overtakes, much more concentration on the road due to cruise and other driver aids. The GTi6 on the other hand, I'm amazed its not in a hedge yet...
Think what you like, but have you never thought about the massive diversity of people on the road? Many with different perceptions, many taught differently, many with health problems, many in different life situations, many in emergencies, etc. I did write out a large reply to Nialls post but wont bother as I can see my opinions/perceptions are clearly not coming across in the right way. Main just is, I've thought about giving up driving many times and probably will if I ever move to town, I know I'm not a model driver, but after analysing the diversity of drivers on the road, and adding some perspective, I'm really not the worst person out there. You are of course entitled to your own opinions.
