I was underwhelmed by the interior tbh - although it's much better than the mk2 (which wouldn't be difficult).
The design and finish on the doors is poor (hard, scratchy plastic, and those door handles are very nasty) and the dash looks dated already (that heavy central section with its acres of blankness, the 'chrome' surround that looks like a cheap 1970s stereo). On the FR, there's a grey surround around the instrument panel that's presumably supposed to look like brushed aluminium, but just looks like airfix-grade plastic - the SE is better in that regard, as the surround is finished in gloss black, but it still has that naff 'chrome' strip...
Very disappointed that it didn't feel more special.
