Ready to race!
Interiors mentioned below and briefly critiqued or commended in one car's case (E90 & F30 3 series, Mk6 GTI, and 2018 Mustang).
I have not posted on in this forum in years...I hope I see some familiar faces and the wit to go with.
I rented a 2018 mustang (again), having rented a 2016 or so mustang years ago. What struck me this time was how big the interior felt, let alone the whole car with its big hood. I had an eco-boost convertible. The whole car almost feels SUV-ish, which is nuts considering that its a low-slung coupe. The left and right halves of the dash are just big with their overhangs, and the new LCD cluster is not sporty. It just feels mini-van like. I was bored driving the car on top of the disappointment of the interior. The 4 cylinder ecoboost has some oomph, but the steering is numb even on the sport setting. Boring car and literally would regret buying this within 1 hour.
I also remember I never could love my MK6 GTI interior. The center console where the shifter was always felt a bit low. That and the I never liked the lower cubby hole (i stuck a large GPS unit in there) but it never really fixes the eye sore. See my sig for the GPS unit stuffed into the cubby.
The absolute best interior I have personally driven as a daily is the E90 sedan without the GPS hump. It blows away even its successor, the F30 which is a confused interior with its lines and also has the ugly gaping hole between the shifter and the climate controls. They fixed it a bit on the 2019 3 series but then they added some half-circle gauges for speed and RPM. I have to sit in one and drive it to know if I like it.
