As most know, I was lucky enough to drive a new Sky with the automatic and premium interior today. Let me start out by saying the seats are very good! The leather feels nice and firm with minimal adjustments available. The steering wheel has a great feel with not enough tilt movement for my taste. The shifter and metallic pedals are first notch, no one will disappointed. Plenty of leg room for my 5' 10" large frame in the passenger seat. The car is breath-taking from the outside. Like a mini cool Corvette!
Now for the items that just don't make the grade. The interior plastic is very, very low-grade. Has a hard and rough finish that feels abrasive thoughout the entire interior. The fit of the plastic is also a disappointment. Probably due to the stiffness of the plastic pieces the seams where plastic panels meet are not always snug and tend to have gaps (even around the instrument panel)! Compared to a Honda Civic the Sky interior fit is downright bad. One has to wonder how many creaks and noises will occur; good thing most of us will be driving with the top down
The sun visors are a joke, they offer little to no blockage of the sun. Jill made the comment while driving that we needed to head in a different direction because there was no way for her to block the sun from hitting her directly in the eyes. The vanity mirror is on the driver's side only, no passenger one; and it's very, very tiny. The cup holders both back and side are thin and can be easily broken; keep your kids away from them. Looking forward to seeing the red/black interior to see if the seams show worse or better.
This is true sports car! Lots of things to love about it, and things to hate. Makes me wonder if another grand was added to the sticker price would it have fixed the things I hate.
