97/100, that is pretty good, especially for a manual Micra. Dealer will not adjust that unless you willing to fork over the dough, unless you have a really good dealer.

Something definitely not right there. You are the first guy that has reported a speedo reading LOW. Interesting.
Please keep us updated on this,bro. I was in to my local dealer yesterday and they have heard nothing of this (that they would admit to me).
Hey Darin, I can tell you that on my car: the odometer is as crazy out of whack as the speedo. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I was comparing it to a known distance (my commute to work).
Yes, a larger diameter tire will bring the speedo more in line with reality. My Micras' speedo is so far out that I would need a pretty tall tire though! On the original tires my Micra would show 60...
Hey man, I would go with the 65's...will help to bring the speedo closer to reality...an issue I will bring up with the dealer as well, when I get a chance. Hopefully they will come around at some...
I can only speak for my Micra. The odometer and speedo are both way off.
I would think that the ECU calculates the speed and distance traveled, using info from a single data point... somewhere aft...
Passing one of those neighbourhood radar signs and i'm getting a 54KMH reading whilst my speedo reads 60KMH. I have always found that these jive pretty well with various vehicles I've driven, but...
Yeah, i'm having a hard time with Antruby's claim also. It is very easy to get any tire to ''grow'' with added pressure, it's just that within the acceptable range I doubt there is a noticeable...
Going with more pressure should theoretically make for a slightly larger tire diameter, which would give you more speed and more km's than indicated. I can't really see a few lbs making that much...
Ah, I didn't know they could be calibrated separately... anyway, I think they both need some tuning. (trucks are blowing by me and my commute is ''longer''! :))
Yes, good point. I forgot how low the fuel economy numbers are on the new rating system.
I find it amusing: they are so low, and most people will applaud that we are finally getting ''real...
I wondered the same thing in my ''review'' post. My commute to work is off by at least 4km, and I know trucks are blowing by me when I'm at 100Kph (they're limited to 105kph)
This has warranty and...
