You bought today's equivalent of a Yugo. What was your expectation?

Tell the truth, you don't like your car because it has no temperature
gauge. That's just plain silly.

Geez, my 2009 BMW 5 series doesn't have one either. How many cars do these
days? Guy is a total crank.

Both my cars have gauges but I suspect they're fake analog gauges. I
guess BMW is a more honest company than Toyota or Hyundai. The easiest
thing to do may be to hook up a reader to the computer and get real-time
digital readouts of the engine temperature and other emission system
data. That would be fun - for about 15 minutes. :-)

That, and he's now trying to hide the fact he's not on whatever number
post about this by tossing in a bunch of other crap, some of which
should have been obvious from a simple test drive.
Any day now, he'll figure out it has a timing belt and not a chain.
(Gasp!)
