I was surprised at the accuracy on the speedo on my 06 Civic Si. When I
pass through the police radar truck areas, I have never been more than 1
MPH off, at any speed range.
In all of my past vehicles, they would be off by 1-2 at 30, and 3-4 at 60.

An inaccurate reading odometer can affect your mileage warranty by reporting
higher mileage than is accurately on the car.
