I like to have a tach, even on an auto. I like to know what the car is
doing. It's also nice to have for downshifting when going down hills, etc.
In general, though, I'm a fan of as many relevant gauges as possible.
It's disappointing to me that gauges are disappearing in newer cars and
not being replaced with anything but idiot lights.
