Interior Expectations
 
With so many threads discussing the exterior looks and designs, etc. i thought we might as well make a thread for the interior! What are your expectations/hopes for the interior?

Simply put, I'm an audiophile so i humbly hope toyota puts a premium system in the car. Leather seats would be nice, heated. Navigation too...although i think Toyota will probably put their entune system in it as well as a backup camera since the NHTSA is going to make them mandatory potentially anyway. Simply put i hope for something on say the 370Z's level of interior in terms of quality and comfortability. But bare bones - nav, leather seats, premium sound and im a content camper.

THrow in the LFA's digital tach prease :party0030:

I'd say 99% of the people here will have an opinion opposite to yours.

This thread will be good.

I don't really care as long as it doesn't make me numb to sit in on long trips.

I'm looking for

1. Soft touch.
2. iPod connect.
3. Gauges that are about readability, not fashion (Mustang, I'm looking at you).

That's not asking too much, right?

Scratch all of that. There is one interior feature that'll leave me not buying the car.

Forward tilted 'safety' headrests. I like to drive in the correct driving position, with a near vertical backrest. Those new safety headrests make it literally impossible for me to sit without having a crooked neck. That's because they are angled forward to be safe for the idiots driving with a gangsta lean.

I literally had to sell my Subaru Impreza over this issue. It was impossible to sit in without my neck cramping up after 15 minutes. I'm never again buying a car that has this issue. Either the headrests need to be angled right, or be two-way adjustable.

I thought about it, but was too annoyed with Subaru at the time. Plus, after one year of ownership (I thought I'd get used to the seats), I sold it for $500 less than I bought it.

So you know the headrest issue I'm talking about?

interior wise I don't really care cuz once the warranty is done most of them will be on the forsale forum, but I hope on the mid to base model will get a cloth mix with nylon & microfiber seats, I'll be happy if we get a MR2 spyder or celica GTS style seats.

zippers or non zippers its ok with me

I dont think will see a LFA type digital cluster if this will be a below $30K maybe the G's spec "if"

FYI: AE86 kouki in Japan had the digital cluster

Some of Subie owner had same problem, so you're not the only one. For me, when I got on the track and raced, it really was annoying. For DD, I kinda lean my seat back, so I didn't have too much of problem.

I would be happy with the interior from the mk I those leather ziplines look so sexy! and the seats as long as they are comfortable!

lol none of it has to be standard :D

yeah ipod connect is a def must probably should have bluetooth too

I hope Toyota puts in a cheap stereo, but puts quality in everything else that matters, such as seats, nice fabrics (no leather), and a great gauge cluster. Most people will either not car about the radio, or will want to upgrade to a high end system. Seat are crucial, but replaceable. The gauges need to be easy to read, plus it helps if they look cool! :)

I would def like a nice sound system with a sub at least as an option, doesnt need to be a big sub just something with a little bump. Simple seats, dont really care for leather or anything crazy, power windows and locks for sure, nav/dvd (or just add my own)... Thats all i can think of for now

That's bare bones? Jesus, I've been driving around in a medieval torture device.


As long as it has a clutch pedal, a shifter, a seat, and a steering device of some kind I'm happy.
