I'm Canadian and it's a pain in the ass driving around in the US looking at the tiny MPH #s instead of the usual KPH! I was wondering how it works if you buy a car in the US and register it in Canada. Do you have to change the speedometer and odometer from miles to KM? I don't see why you would, but the Canadian government does some pretty ridiculous things. It does sound weird though how the speed limit in Canada is '100' on the highway and '50' in a residential igloo zone. It's hard driving 50KPH on thick ice and snow all year round while eating bacon and swerving to avoid polar bears! There's some stereotypes for ya lol! =P

I have a MPH gauge overlay on my car with KMPH on the inner ring. Im not sure that it matters what your guage reads, as long as you dont try to argue with the cop that you were "Only going 60"

im in canada, and when i bought my guages i bought the wrong ones by mistake i have the big mph and small kmph...but it really makes no difference too me, how often do you stare at it anyways when you drive? you get to 70 you stay in that zone anyways. meh...makes no difference to me

but yes, canada has kmph speed limits and odometers, as the U.S has the reverse. If you buy a car from the states and you bring it to Canada either you put up with the mph or you can do a cluster swap I assume.

I just got back from a nice long 24 drive from florida (drove down and back, wow fun drive ) (not in my sunfire though). I really didn't see any hassle with the mph or kmph at all, just that getting to 50 mph felt like it took alot longer to get to. (main reason is b/c its ilke 80 kmph).
