    Current Audi A6, fantastic

    I love my Civic dash :) My old Fiesta, now that was nasty.

    I don't have a photo of my own handy, so here's an LHD one:

    I actually think the 75 dash is very nice. I agree about Audi interiors, they are finished very well, but you do pay for the priviledge!

    I like this:sideview.jpg Fiat Coupe

    Rented a Fiesta recently, pure kak interior. The Skoda Fabia had horrible colour plastics too. Design wasn't bad as such, boring, but not offensive... but the plastics were!
    Most of the VW Polo's were pure kak inside too. Was in a skyline too, pure shyte, Primera replica.

    Best my new Golf worst Seat Leon


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,537 ✭✭✭joseph brand


    As long as it has brown leather seats, I will think it's just lovely.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,536 ✭✭✭Dolph Starbeam


    I would have to say the mr2 has a great interior, especially for its age. The low down armchair like sitting position is just so comfortable:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,423 ✭✭✭pburns


    Alfa 159 with cream leather - yum!

    The Rover 75 interior may be a bit old school but still nice in a 'poor man's Bentley' kinda way - a traditional British interior at a knock-down price. The MG ZT had aluminium instead i think which really was lovely. Just 'cos it's not a bloody Audi:rolleyes:

    Audi concentrate on interiors as one of their main USPs. IMO the newer models are not as good as the previous generation. I sat in a new A4 recently and although quality of materials was excellent I wasn't impressed. Downright fugly. Having said that the colours on this particular car were yuck.

    Haven't seen it in the flesh but the Jaguar XF interior looks fantastic - a modern slant on the traditional wood-and-leather with that innovative gear control...

    That only makes sense if they're the only two cars you've sat in.

    Although the 159 is lovely, I preferred the 156/147/GT dash.

    However the 166 dash is beautiful. So beautiful, when I did a google image search and clicked on one pic, our firewall popped up with a message, "Forbidden Category 'Pornography' " lol.....


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,220 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    I'm not sure I agree Audi make the nicest interiors, but they are certainly laid out the best. Every button, switch, dial is in the place it should be.

    I'm probably a bit biased, but I think Alfa make the nicest interiors of your affordable car out there....

    the interior of my current GT is something special

    These pictures aren't actually taken from my car, but from teh website, but it's the same.

    as for worst interiors, I would have to say of what I've been in, Toyota & Opel rank down there. Nissan is also very nasty

    Until you look close enough and see that nothing fits together properly.

    1996- A4 has the switches for the electric windows at the driver's elbow. Ergonomic disaster. My fingers are on my hands..

    Yeah that guy who says the current Golf has the best interior mustn't get out much... Actually when I told a VW salesman (the heir to the Michael Moore throne) that the MkV interior was a backward step from the MkIV he got up and walked away! But it is! Rich kids aren't accustomed to people disagreeing with them I guess:p

    I remember being impressed when I stepped into a MkII Laguna. I was (slightly) younger and more impressionable back then;)...

    Audi dashes are commonly considered as the best in the market by the motoring press.

    Personal opinion is the worst, given what they cost are BMW's, all their modern dashes are bland looking, although they tend to look better without the idrive screen stuck in the middle of the dash.
