Which car has the nicest dashboard?

ds20prefecture

For sculpted art the first generation 1955 Citroën DS


For elegant design, the series 1 Citroën CX


for outright wonderful wackiness, the 80s Citroën GSA


Modern dashes? The Volvo V50 is nice, likewise the new Range Rover. The new Civic is unashamedly Japanese, and all the better for it. Saabs used to be wonderful. For a sense of occasion though I'd agree with Lomb on the roller, or the wonderful milled brass of the TVR Tuscan.

The dash in my Rover 200 was alright-ish, but I personalised it. I sprayed the 'wood' bits matt silver for a subtle look and changed the boring orange dial lights to blue.

Nissan primera p11-144 nice high dash!

Those Citroens, sooooo cooool.

I don't like the new BMW's either. The M5 head up is cool though. The Zonta is nice, but it looks a bit like a craft shop, all that leather, brushed steel etc. A bit OTT when you've been looking at it a while. Theres was two of them at Goodwood this year. Audi, Alfa do nice interiors. The original TT was cool.

So whats your point? The 1.4 engine in that would hammer any 1.4 golf. The Roer K Series is one of the nippiest 1.4's around pushing out 103BHP standard.. Oh and not to mention cheap insurance.

Actually its thanks to people like you that Rmy rover is so cheap to insure... "Ah sure its a rover only a grandad will drive that" ... Thanks dude!

The last generation BMWs dash and cabins were perfection. The new one is kak. The new mercedes E class is really nice.

Mercedes 300SL "Gullwing"........mmmmmm

Toyota Prius, while not exactly "pretty", has everything perfectly laid out for the driver. After using this speedo it is hard to go back to a normal one. Also note where the gears are. This means you can quite easily get into the driver's seat from the passenger side if some eejit has parked too close to you. The glove-box opens up two ways (I think most Toyota's have this) which is dead handy. And of course you have all the necessary controls (Radio, A/C, Phone...) on the steering wheel. Functional, but not beautiful

Don't doubt it John but I don't drive a 1.4 so we'll give the traffic lights Grand Prix a miss ok.

It's just that a Rover 214 is not the most inspiring car out there for a car enthusiast that's all.

Here's another pic for you DS20 - it's another vote for the A3 dash, the pic is my last car !!

Maybe it was DS20 that spat at your car the other day Mark!!

Big Balls

If he wears tracksuit tops when he goes out on the beer (cider!) on a Saturday night then probably....

Is there any more appropriate attire when meeting one's acquaintances for a garden soirée? Or as I said last Saturday - "jaysus Ma, where's me shellie, I'm off down de fukin paaark for a hih an' a flagon of cidawhh!"

Very nice dash in that Audi, they certainly changed it from the Mk 1 A3. That is absolutely identical to my dull-as-dishwater Škoda. Still no sign of that elusive golf dash, though - it's funny the way your eye kind of slides off it onto something more interesting.... like the knack gobbing on your car.

Seriously, why would anyone spit on your car? It's disgusting - he should be shot with a ball of his own shite.

"Seriously, why would anyone spit on your car? It's disgusting - he should be shot with a ball of his own ****e."

I dunno, it's Dublin.

I agree the MKII A3 was a big step up but don't forget in my picture you're seeing leather, 6cd changer and climate control - all extras which make it look better.

I also agree the Golf GTI interior is nothing too fancy but it's not ugly either and for me anyway, this car is more about driving it.
