What other cars have fantastic cockpits that would bring a smile to your face if it was you behind the wheel (within a reasonable budget..lets be generous here..up to €45k) ?
Btw I don't know loveducati ..just he's selling a car that would have to be pried away from my cold cold hands!!

Im afraid it wouldnt be to my taste either (is that a pool table on the screen?). It is a bit fussy, I would prefer something cleaner looking.

The dash on the new Passat is nice, but to be honest most new cars make a fair effort (i.e. compared to the Primeras and Carinas of old....). I cant think of anything fantasic enough to warrant finding a picture of though!

Looks like somebody is watching Snooker coverage on BBC!

Dash looks OK, but not overwhelming. I wouldn't say no if offered to me (whole car, not just the dash )

My memory of the R. 75 interior was that it was a very nice place to be and everything had a quality feel to it - only downside was the buzzy 1.8 litre K-series engine on the far side of the engine compartment wall that just didn't match the rest of car.

The brother used to have a '92 Prelude - Fantastic interior, very reminiscent of a plane, the sort of thing which must have looked unbelievably futuristic at the time. Nothing fancy like wood or leather, just black Japanese plastic but it was a great car to pilot and the dash added so much.

I looked for pics but none did it justice. I did find some very cheap ones for sale though!:D

I used to get an S Class when I went to Germany on holiday through the company I worked for at the time. They are amazing cars, you feel like you're in your living room and the world is moving around you.

those new BMW ones with the "double Dash" are hideous.

the new civic one is absolutley AMAZING - you have to see it in real life.

Its really hard to argue that its not one of the best dashes ever , and in a relatively cheap car.
