BTW my friend more than qualifies age-wise for the car, if you know what I mean.

I agree with I8ABMR that the interior wood could be better.

I wish if there were no wood at all inside. It would be even more appealing to us youngsters. Didn't like the partly wooden steering wheel too, well who am i to complain. I'm in minority here anyways

Surprisingly I couldn't get comfortable in the front seats (both driver and passenger). I've heard/read that is one of the strong points of the interior.

I've heard some people on the heavier side felt slightly uncomfortable because of the fan blowers under the seats. Other than that I really haven't heard any other complaints about it.
