And it's just cool.
I had a similar experience on my test drive. No matter how I seemed to position my seat or the steering wheel there always seemed to be something blocking the crucial part of the speedometer. It was very easy to push the car up beyond the speed limit without realising it.

My commute has plenty of speed cameras along the way, so having that bit of additional comfort of the speed reading in my eye line was an easy option to check.

It may not be an absolute essential but it sure is cool and definitely a great extra bit of safety
