Default HUD Owners Talk to Me

HUD Owners:

Got a question for ya. If you had it to do over again, would you get the HUD option on your car? I realize you may have gotten it because it came with other equipment you wanted BUT, if we are talking about just getting the HUD, is it worth getting? Do you use it or do you not even notice it? I am deciding if it is worth holding out for. Thanks to all for your imput....

I like the HUD. It took me a little while adjusting to not looking down at the gauges but once I got used to it, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I love it! You can keep your eyes on the road since you don't have to look as far down to see the HUD as the gauges. Also, somehow the display is viewed with your "distance vision" so you don't have to refocus your eyes to read the display.

Yes, I would not purchase another Corvette without it. A surprise was how the navigation is integrated with the HUD, a real plus I was not expecting.
