Should the lack of a temperature gauge in the 2010 Mazda 3 prevent me from buying one?

My husband's concerned that it doesn't have one, it apparently only has an indicator light when the engine starts to overheat. It frustrates me that Mazda would leave something so simple out but did they do it b/c it's really not necessary? It doesn't seem to be stopping a lot of people from buying them!|||if your husband is that concerned, then find out how to put a temperature gauge inside the car somewhere, the shop you buy the car from should have no problem it may add some to the cost, but you get what your husband likes,and I happen to agree with him, I never liked idiot lights either, It seems like car makers are out of touch sometimes with their customers, and plug in any old thing to make it work, there are many types of aftermarket guages available, One would think a competent shop could fix this issue good luck|||a lot of vehicles that even have temp gauges are a falsity as well any how. they just look like a gauge but only have 2 settings normal and hot..which is no different from a idiot lite. how ever if u really like the car they do have have after market gauge pods and so forth that u can set it up ur self or have a shop do it in no time. check the link i posted there is a picture of it there
