Best car interiors

[CampDavid]

Spent 1000 miles in here over the weekend. By no means the prettiest place in the world, it was comfy, hard wearing, full of convenient toys and loads of space for drinks, snacks and supplies. Ideal

Personally, for a relativly mass market car, I think these are quite good:

Red leather does tend to divide opinions, but I really like this.... (not mine, but an LE version of the Coupe 20V Turbo).

I like that, but personally, I would just have the red on the seats, and leave it at that

If by good you mean naff, both design wise and material wise.

What a mess. It looks like something from Dixon's cheap hifi department circa 1989.

My dads car (Volvo xc 70 ) is very nice , big comfy seats and lovely textures.

Its bloody hard to keep clean though due to the cream/magnolia leather.

I hate saying daddies car!

I know it will be controversial - but here's a fabulous one

Not sure if I'd rate the whole interior but the Visa's control pod was ace.

I also like that.

That is a place where I'd gladly spend plenty of time, everything you need where you would expect it to be and nothing that is superflous.

The exact opposite of this bizarre modern attempt at a technofest with buttons, screens and switches all over the place instead of just in the centre console or on the wheel where they should be.

Not a fan of the steering wheel. I do like the way it curves round the driver though.



My favourite at the moment. Recaros and alcantara





MMmmmm



I also have a soft spot for the Exige interior. Incredibly functional rather than pretty. But it's a nice place to be.

What did it do? Looks like there's a hell of a lot of buttons on there.

I used to have a SAAB 9-3 Vector Sport and loved this dash, especially at night when it glowed a luminous green. It also had the night facility switch when you could turn everything off except the speedo, and any dial that showed upa fault suddenly came back into life. Especially the speedo when you shot past 70mph!

Crap picture but I quite like this...

Pretty much everything.

There's a big rocker switch for the non-self-cancelling indicators buttons for horn wash and full beam, twiddles and levers for lights and wiper all operable with an extended finger whilst keeping hold of the wheel.

Simply brilliant.

Not well made particularly, but I love my Elise for the sheer bloody minded nothingness!

Not even any backlighting for the HVAC controls, or glove box, or anything. Love all the exposed aluminium as well - something that gradually got more and more covered up in later cars.



For quality, it has to be the new McLaren. Also love the F40 for the same reason as my Elise. Love Morgans for the tiny dimensions and the way everything is shrinked around you.

Wouldn't have the Zonda on the list - it's definitely a masterpiece of engineering and craftsmanship, but it's a tasteless, jumbled mess as well IMO.

Agree with this, beauty in it's simplicity and siple in it's beauty. I need an Elise. Desperately, and it will be my daily.

Can't help thinking that these look decidedly kit-car. Lots of stick on bits rather than being designed from the ground up. If you got rid of the carbon fibre it would look pretty naff.

[F1GTRUeno]

The F50 interior is lovely in it's simplicity as well.

Why does nearly everyone seem to omit the name of the car they are posting pictures of?
Is it some big secret?
