Clock....

dear honda,

the clock shown on the center console is way TOO small.

all of my vehicles have clocks in them and i've never seen a clock this small in a truck/car.

Re: Clock....

I think I've got to second you on that one, I think if it were in a LED color, it would help to see it better, or make it stand out. In the big scheme of things though, it doesn't bother me all that much.

Re: Clock....

I can't see it either. At least with Navi I can ask "what time is it" and the system will tell me the time.

Re: Clock....

I've constantly had passengers ask what time it was because they couldn't even find the clock!

But for those that have navi, I think you can ask 'what time is it?' and it should tell you (it does in my wife's Ody, same type of navi system). But for those of us without navi....

Re: Clock....

Agree !

The clock is too small and while I'm at it, the location of the headlight switch often gets turned on when my knee hits it on getting out. Needs to be relocated.

Boy howdy, do I ever agree! When I have to take my eyes off the road and peer over at something, it's more than annoying, it's dangerous!

Too small and too dim during the day, and with the lights on at night, the clock dims even more because it is linked to the dashlight dimmer control. Geeze...in an otherwise terrific vehicle this is really bad design.

I can say for the 30+'ers that we can see the clock... especially when I am wearing my driving glasses...

Re: Clock....

I think the clock (and the HVAC indicator) would be a lot easier to read if they weren't done up in a screen color that PalmPilot's quit using ten years ago...
