I have 2 Vanagons: TD has power steering and a small steering wheel. This makes looking at the speedo more difficult than on my D, which has no power steering, but a large steering wheel. I can see the speedo very well on this, but as I must always drive this vehicle flat out, it doesn't really matter anyway.
