Just tested the MR2, it appears to be 5% lower than whatever the speedometer actually reads, the old Micra was 10%.

Interesting!

100kmh on speedo is 90kmh on Gps, I don’t know who to believe going past speed cameras

265 KM/h reads 258 on gps so it’s pretty accurate

If you ever plug in a OBD (On Board Diagnostics) chip like the ELM 327 it tells you your actual speed which from experience was about 2-3 slower than what the speedometer read
