I was looking at all the pictures under an interior thread here on Azine and realized that almost every car that was pictured was $60,000 plus and I thought, is there anything close that can be had for under $25,000-$30,000? Is there? I mean, surely no car can compete with the materials used in real luxurious cars but what are some cars that catch your eye with their interior?

For me it would have to be the audi a3 and a4, bmw z4, and volkswagen cc.

 

Wait...... don't you have a Mustang?




















I too can appreciate a nice interior, especially of those in the said interior thread, but eh I don't know. I really like the new TSX interior. Some more will come to me later.

 

Try a Subaru Legacy 3.0R (yes, the steering wheel is a Momo)

$27,290 (Dealer list)



Not bad, really.

Ford Taurus (2009), $25,995 MSRP (OK, the steering wheel sucks)




And before anyone gets pissy, the OP stated in his post $25-30K. I read the title, but the post said otherwise.


So, some can be had, IMO. You just have to look.

 

2009 Mazda 6 Grand Touring

 

I love the interior of my TL.

 

That 3.0R Subie looks very tastefully appointed. Nice steering wheel..

 

i think the 3rd gen TL is great for that price range.

i also really like this honda

 

Mine!

 

The only eye sore is the big red hazard light button on the far right. You'd think they'd put it closer to the driver not further away.

 

honda odyssey? parent's have one and it's a pretty sweet ride!

 

Mazda's look nice, but doesn't their tactile feel suck? That's what stuck out in my mind on a couple of test drives.

 

VW has nice interiors for the price. Its the rest of the car that makes me worried.

 

VW CC is quite nice....inside and out

 

yes...yes i do...that's actually one of the reasons i thought about opening this thread. many people don't like the mustang's interior. for me it doesn't offset everything else the car offers. i just wanted to see what else $25,000 would buy and it pretty much answers my question. there is NO CAR for UNDER $25,000 NEW (so this doesn't include a TL) that would make me inclined to choose ANY CAR with a BETTER INTERIOR than a mustangs which would cause me to compensate for less performance than the mustang for a better interior in another car.

 

Hyundai really improved the Sonata interior for '09...

 

TSX?

the new mazda 6 and 3 have nice looking interiors, i think. same with the accords. and yea...the cc.

 

How about that massive overhang, eh?

 

the new Acura RL you can find a nice used RL for under $30K

 

Sorry, I was just joking. I don't mind the Mustang's interior honestly, and I thought it would be pretty apparent that I have a Camaro (sig) which is a car not really known for its interior.

I think the same way as you my friend. Depends on what you want to use the car for.... the Mustang GT has the best solid rear axle out there if you want to build a car with a lot of power. I'm actually waiting to see if the new Mustang comes out with the new 5.0 and 6-speed manual.... the new Camaro is a bloated pig, even though I think it has a nicer interior.

ummm

This coming from a guy who has a Camaro.... I don't like that interior. And you say its been really improved?

 

Improved?

Anything to write home about?

 

 

I feared I might burn for that... Please disregard my poorly thought-out statements.

 

The Odyssey does have a nice interior.

 

The Hyundai interior is better than a Toyota Camry

And OP, your opening paragraph stated $25 - 30K. So now if it brand new, and $25K or less, then don't say otherwise.

That being said, how about a Volvo?



$23,800 MSRP

 

I checked out the CC at a local VW dealership recently and . It's a beautiful car. I just wouldn't pay anywhere near the invoice for a loaded one though.

 

If you like lifeless and drear...

The 3G interior takes the cake in opinion.

 

Have u seen the interior of the RL????????

 

I think in the cheap car market, honda does the best interiors.

The civic is a little too futuristic for my taste, but at least it looks like they put some serious thought into the design. The fit probably has the best interior in it's class. And the accord isn't too far behind the TL and RL, especially with all the options.

I always felt that the interior's of cars in the entry level luxury class weren't that far behind high end luxury cars, so probably the best bet would be the A3, TSX, TL, IS250, 128 to give you the most interior for the buck.


I like my scion interior though . Not the best materials, but at least it feels well put together. I'm in rental cars pretty often, and i always like coming back to my car.

 

I love it when threads spillover into other threads.

 

I really like that car.
