Also, a trip computer seems like such a no-brainer on a car with OBD-II. Do find the trip computer functions (MPG, distance to empty, MPH, etc.) are relatively accurate?
The gauges work very well. The unit is small enough to not be too bulky, and the display is large enough that the gauges are easy to see. It's nice that the display color (when the lights are on) is configurable.

The trip computer is very accurate as far as I can tell. One of the functions will tell you how much gas you have left in the tank. I find that it's very accurate. When I fill my tank the thing generally tells me exactly how much gas I'm going to put in.
