Default Interior of the 2015 3IS


Looks like they replaced the glossy material in the car with something more rough.. I don't like it! They also changed the remote control puck... any thoughts or opinions?

I like my 2014 interior better, not a fan of the mat console and bigger mouse puck looks cheaper. That being said everyone has different taste!

I feel the exact same way dude. The 2014 looked way more luxurious. The black matte finish on the car doesn't fit in with the fancy Sport mode button at all.

Well I was hoping for an aluminum dead pedal on the 2015 like my 2011 has, it looks more finished. The finish on the console doesn't bother me but boy am I glad to see those seat ventilation buttons!!

while i prefer the glossy finish in the 2014, lots of people were complaining that it was easily scratched. I have not experienced any scratches on my interior panels, but i did notice some scratches on the window switches. However, somebody mentioned that the matte finish might have oily blotches too if you're an oily person

I honestly don't see too much of a difference between the 14 and 15's.

The features that I wish I had on my car are the ventilated seats and moving grid lines for the backup camera. I wonder if the moving grid lines feature can be added by updating the firmware?

I wonder if the dead pedal from the GS would swap in?
