yes, I'm totally agree with you. It's as weird as it sounds but both cars are set for kilometers. In fact, I use waze very often and it shows the speed and it is pretty much the same as my odometer. I have a scangauge in the old one and the speed is acurate as well.

I just took these pictures of both odometers and they both say KM/H

That's speed. We need to verify distance. Even though pic shows km it is possible that it is inaccurate.

Granted I'm grabbing at straws but something is wrong here.

again, there is definetly something wrong here and I was praying that it was the odometer showing miles instead of kms but.. no.

Did the test with my cellphone's gps but it is showing the same

I don't drive it at more than 2k, always try to maintain the eco indicator on.
