Nice review.

And I don't mind at all that you used my pictures.

I think the interior is generally decent, it's far from cheap, but the first visual impressions one gets is a bit negative. When I first saw the car in real life, I thought the interior was a big let-down. After testdriving it and spending some time inside, I actually saw that it's quite well made and the materials are definitely premium. I agree that the center console is the weakest link and gives most people the impression that the interior is on the cheap side. I would have loved to see the center dashboard console be equipped with some brushed aluminum on the Avantgarde models and wood in the Elegance variants. Will be interesting to see how the facelift will address this issue.
