Speedometer is factory calibrated to read higher than actual speed (about 3-5 kph higher) - which is fine especially as you approach the 'seize your car' speed limits of Ontario.

Hey, I noticed this in my VW Beetle.  My Nuvi GPS system always seemed to be 3-4kph lower than the speedometer claimed.  When I checked this in my wife's 2008 Grand Caravan, the speed was dead on.  Go figure.  Is this a VW thing, or a German thing in general?

TSX reads about 3km/h faster than it goes (at 125 / 122).
