Speedometer Accuracy? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Buddy Fan · 06-07-2010, 06:33 PM

I find my speedometer to be accurate within 1 mph. As a side note, my old Entourage was off by 3 mph at 65 and my wife's Sonata is off by 2 at 65. I had the misfortune of renting a Dodge Caliber and it was spot on accurate for what it's worth!

Yep - the Caliber reports its 0mph very accurately! I had the misfortune of passenger-ing in my brother's rented one. 0-65 in about a month or so; the National Car of Florida!

Both Wheel and tire size can definately affect the speedometer.

I've got 18" Wheels with 215 35 18 tires on them...thought at first that the car seemed like it was going faster cause it was lowered and the ride was more severe...flipped on the GPS and was going 6 MPH faster than I thought I was(speedometer is normally over the speed limit anyways)

I've adjusted that since, lol
