The best car interior for under $60K

Some of the things we look for in a great interior are:

1. Overall good looks
2. Functional and well laid out interface
3. Color and material choices
4. Quality of materials
5. Easy to understand switchgear and graphical icons
6. Ergonomic setup
7. Timeless and classic appeal

If those things are important to you then we're sure you'll agree it's hard to beat the interior of 2005 BMW Z4.

It is our award winner for the 'Best car interior under $60K'






We love the classic but modern-not retro look they've accomplished.

Every switch is in the right place, the gauges look like a fine watch and anywhere you look inside the cabin is pleasing to the eye.

For all the GM designers who read our newsletter, if the new corvette had done a modern interpretation of the 63 corvette interior, it would have won our 2005 car of the year. We felt the new interior was the weakest point of the new Vette (a symptom of all GM cars).

Even though the Z4 has not been a big winner on the sales floor, we still like the BMW roadster and you can't beat the killer lease deals dealers are running on them.
