Is HUD worth it?

Hi All,

Is HUD worth the money?


Thanks

yes, I really like the HUD...but if you have polarized sunglasses you will be bummed.

I love it. It works with some polarized glasses. I have Polarized Raybans and no problem.

HUD is cool for a wow factor when you first get in a car. After that it becomes rather pointless IMO.

My uncle a WHILE back had a Lincoln Mark VIII with HUD for the speedo/tach. I though "hey that looks cool" but that was about it.

I love it - but it will make it harder to say "Officer, I really did not notice how fast I was going"

It is great and makes your driving safer.... Your eyes no longer need to leave the roadway!! You can easily view the speed in the foreground and notice changes in the background. No more looking into the cabin for the speed.

It also has Nav info, again no need to look down at the nav screen to know when your next turn is.
