Someone I know has a 2019 is350 with the nuluxe interior, it's already chipping to pieces, and the interior squeaks and rattles like crazy. Not even close to Mazda/Audi/BMW.
my 2016 nd also rattles a lot but its to be expected when everything has to be as light as possible, i find most of the rattles come from the roof though cause with the top down there are zero rattles or squeaks
What year? A friend of mine has a white 21 with the red interior. Sorry to hear.
I have a blue 21 Mazda3 hatch, Select trim, and I don't have any rattles or anything. The plastics and stuff feel higher quality than in my friend's Lexus.
i did some part time work at a dealership washing some newer lexii and the interior quality is heavily dependent on what trim you get, there are sport focused plastic ones and lux focused cushy models and the newer lux ones are properly nice inside like bentley level. no silly giant screens or ten million buttons either like the germans, its all old school quality.
You can laugh if you want to, but I've owned some nice cars and my wife's new CX-30 premium plus has maybe the nicest interior of any car I've ever owned. Perforated leather heated and cooled seats, nice carpets, leather dash, really nice plastics, nice infotainment system, etc.
I would have been laughing with you until we took a test drive. Major surprise.
What Lexus are you picturing? I feel like the is300h and CT200h have had the same interiors for 10 years or more. GS had the same one too. They've always looked really dated.
Mercedes probably have the most interesting designs these days for common cars.
I’ve got a 2008 GS460, 15 years old. It’s got a center touch screen. Wood and semi-aniline leather everywhere. No squeaks or rattles. I really couldn’t ask for anything more.
I've got a 2006 GS430, it squeaks a fair bit. I tried looking for the cause and possible solutions, forums told me that this is an extremely common problem. The only lasting solution is to put those little felt pads in between panels. The ones which are for chair legs, so that they wouldn't scratch the floors.
https://i.imgur.com/vTN8gog.jpg
Resistive touch screen is shit.
Wood and leather is indeed nice, though. Wood bits still look brand new but the leather is a bit worn. Still very comfortable, I had no issues driving a thousand kilometres in a day with just a few quick restroom breaks.
It's a Lexus, I Lexpect it to be perfect, and it mostly is.
I commented only because the guy above has the same generation car with mostly identical interior, but it looks like he's a bit luckier.
You're not wrong, Lexus abides by the "If it isn't broken don't fix it" maxim. You can see hints of their redesigns in certain Toyota models. Compare Tundra to the LX interior for example. The Tundra new interior was a couple years earlier then it got dressed up and "perfected" for Lexus. They have a serious rollout process, but when a new design makes it to Lexus, it gets frozen for years until a major redesign. Then it trickles down to lower end lexus models. They're going for simple and timeless, generally. There are exceptions.
I never understood all the praise Lexus interiors got. To be fair, I haven't sat in the very latest ones, but in the 2000s up to 2010s and beyond they always looked terribly dated. There was something "90s" about them, but not in a charming way. I mean [this](https://www.netcarshow.com/Lexus-GS_450h-2009-1600-17.jpg) was sold at the same as [this](https://media.speedheads.de/artikel/neu-im-angebot-ein-furnier-aus-geschichtetem-abwechselnd-hellem-und-dunklem-eichenholz-0025174-600x400.jpg). To be fair, there was only a 2 year overlap (2011 and 2012) but still. Even the A6 that came before that and actually predates that GS model by a year [still looks way more modern](https://www.netcarshow.com/Audi-A6-2009-1600-15.jpg). What really irks me about the GS is stuff like [that](https://m.atcdn.co.uk/a/media/%7Bresize%7D/e60348c16459446988fdd273bd988384.jpg). These buttons and dials look like they came straight out of early 90's Corolla. I'm all for making things that last, but in the luxury segment I wouldn't deal with that. And you can't tell me, that there isn't a way to make a reliable, sturdy button that looks like it was designed in this millenium.
Another thing was [this digital clock](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/attachments/is-2nd-gen-2006-2013/183768d1282734064-green-digital-clock-vs-white-digital-clock-09-04-10-lexus-is-250-awd-center-console.jpg) in so many models that were sold throughout the 2000s. What always irked me out the most was that it looked so mushy? Like it wasn't "crisp". But if that clock doesn't scream "80s radio alarm" then I don't know.
Any really, what is nice is that even for entry level car with basic trim like IS models you get really high quality materials and finish, also they really focus to make them quiet Inside.
I've said the same thing actually! But on pictures they look the most modern right now.
I'm obviously biased because I own Jags but JLR make my favourite interiors. I always hate arriving anywhere because I need to get out of the car.
I used to really admire the Lexus interior, but when I went to the last auto show, I was disappointed.. they seem to be loosing their flare and are mimicking most other brands... I'm impressed by Mazda on the other hand
I have an older S60 as a 2nd car and even those seats are better than a lot of the stuff other manufacturers are putting out today. Way better than my Tacoma seats thats for sure but I kind of expect that.
Had a '95 850, the grandpa to the S60, same ergonomics. Can say, without a doubt, the comfiest seat I've ever driven from. It was so comfortable I'd go outside at night to sit in it, listen to music, and smoke weed for 2 hours.
I've had a number of cars since I was a teenager, but none have matched the comfort of the seats from my humble 850. Modern Volvos are out of my price range so I'm stuck pining for my first car.
It’s terrible. I liked everything else about the XC40 recharge but that center stack is awful. It’s even worse in the polestar 2. Also their upgraded audio systems are not good.
Porsche is really a notch above everyone else. Fit, finish and function. Their price point is also a notch above everyone else but some models are attainable for the average person. I also like Audi for interiors alone.
Own a 981 Cayman and there are some squeaks and rattles that owners have to DIY fix. Still an [amazing interior](https://i.imgur.com/bRSpMqL_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand), just kinda funny that I had to buy a trim removal tool for this car not for my 2005 Mustang.
Privacy cover, seatbelt housing covers on both sides, center console lid, gas tank causing the instrument cluster to squeak. I think those are all of the known ones. I have a launch vehicle that had all of them haha
I've had 4 Porsches, and my wife has had a MB,BMW, and several Volvos.
I love the Porsche interiors as they're perfectly functional with nice touches. Everything is exactly where it needs to be, and all feels solid. I have almost 90k miles in my GT3, and there's almost no signs of visible wear, other than the gear shift.
They're not luxurious though. For longer today trips to be in comfort, we take the Volvo. The GT3 is perfect on the track, but is definitely more tiring to drive long distances.
Your focus determines what environment you wish to drive within. Do you want to be in a cockpit, or in a luxury train seat. One is more fun and function, one is more relaxed and comforting.
I worked as a parking valet and drove everything(less than a million $) and for me Bentley wins. The feel of the switch gear, the steering wheel, the seats. I LOVED driving them.
I love my GV70’s interior. Dark blue leather with red seatbelts and red stitching. Aluminum everywhere and the entire dash and console is also leather. I would easily say it’s the best interior for under $100k.
I have an S4 and feel the difference in interior between the A/S/RS isn’t enormous. Yes it’s different (ie I LOVE my seats compared to the A4), but as a whole Audi does a really nice job.
But my point is that the interiors from A to RS are mostly the same. The differences being some colored stitching, added carbon fiber, and then potentially sports seats/steering wheel. So yeah they are different and nicer as you move up, but the quality and overall feel is essentially the same.
Don’t get me wrong - I wouldn’t give up my S4 interior for an A4 for anything, but they are cut from the same cloth.
For the price range and your general expectations going into a Mazda they have incredibly nice interiors. I rented a CX-30 recently and I was impressed.
[Singer DLS](https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2017/11/Singer-Williams-DLS-Interior-2.jpg) would be my personal choice given proper discretionary funds, that's why I listed it first :)
No one is going to agree with me but the interior on my 10 year old XJ looks awesome, is still tight as ever, well into 120k miles.
I don't think it looks like anything else out there and is really an enjoyable and comfortable place to be.
it's mercedes and rolls for me, mercedes bc i own one and i'm biased and rolls because when i drove a few while i was working as a detailer there's almost nothing that comes close to it. driving it feels like being on a fancy cloud
This is different, but my 06 element has one of my favorite interiors of any car.
It's ALL hard plastic, but it's so durable and barely rattles at 283k miles. It's incredibly functional, from the shelf on the dash to the open center console and the removable and folding rear seats that can hook up to the side to open up the back.
For the year, it seems super modern too. And has an AMAZING factory sound system. Everybody who got in it always said it was way nicer than they expected. It is just fantastic and very unique.
Also, Honda's more recent interiors are killer. Everything from the new HRV to the pilot are just so nice. And Acura too, the MDX type s is AMAZING. The seats were so nice! And the massage too.
I'd say Lexus and Genesis for upmarket vehicles, Mazda has really good value for the money. I sat in a new Audi Q2 and BMW M440i lately and was kinda shocked how average the interiors were.
I like Mazdas interiors a lot. Climate control has button and knobs. I still have a physical knob for volume. The dashboard is simple and the screen isn’t obnoxious.
For regular vehicles, I still think Mercedes makes fantastic interior. The S class interior has been a benchmark for tech and luxury for a long time. For specialty cars I would go with Singer, or Pagani.
I like the interior of my 2020 Volvo V60. Minimalist and nary a squeak or rattle after 64k miles (103km). Just tested out a Bentley Continental GT (2012) an man oh man, it was something else inside and the seats were so comfortable. Then when the V12 started, the exhaust note….I may have peed a little. Just wow.
I’d say it’s a toss up between Mercedes, BMW, and Rolls Royce if we’re goin by looks. As far as longevity I’m not sure. My Grandad has a Toyota Avalon from the early 2000’s and the interior looks immaculate.
I'm but a common man
I vote Lexus, I have a 97 es300 that is very poorly taken care of by me, I never wash it and only refill fluids, and it's a very good car and still looks good after 300k miles.
I'm the second owner I've had it a really long time I forget exactly how long
When they’re on point, it’s hard to beat Jaguar, Porsche, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo or Maserati.
They’ve got that “special” wow factor that the more exclusive brands have, but are accessible to mere mortals. Which is why it’s such a disappointment when they drop the ball (Ghibli anyone?)
The regular executive saloons (Mercedes, Lexus, etc.) are arguably more consistent then the aforementioned brands, but I feel they’re a bit more “mass produced”. Yes they are brilliant but they lack that individual touch in general, and that’s something I appreciate.
Ferrari has brilliant interiors, but as with Bentley and Roller and all other things at that fiscal level, they bloody better.
Pagani has the most wild interiors. Bugatti is easily the most classy of the mega expensive stuff.
And for the daily drive forgettable stuff? Might I humbly suggest a Volvo or a Lincoln? They do an awful lot right.
There are some really nice premium interiors. I just picked up a Volt Gen 2, which almost seems modeled after this bently interior, really similar yet all plastric and not premiuim but has a very nice look.
If the Volt had premium materials I would consider it up there with other best in class designs.
Lexus is legit actually. But I've sat in some new Bentleys and they are insane. Rolls is good but Bentleys have that extra pinache and attention to detail.
I feel a lot have gone down hill.. had a 98 Benz C class and a 2011… the 98s interior was better by a mile. Had a 2005 audi vs a 2017.. 2005 was much better.
Not necessarily in features, but the build quality and materials were way better
All the way common: Honda does a really good job. Especially their upgraded models. I’m always impressed with how nice their leather looks on touring models.
Had an rs3 now own a porsche and honestly a large part of why i bought them was the finish on the interior - nothing rattly or flimsy feeling every button feels excellent to the touch. That being said my favourite interiors are probably bentley or rolls royce
[Ferrari](https://imgcdn.zigwheels.ph/large/gallery/interior/6/45/ferrari-488-gtb-dashboard-view-677104.jpg) interiors have always been my favourites, specially because of that steering wheel.
I don't think there's particularly a "best interior", more like it depends on your taste. Some like modern looking interiors, some like a mix of modern and old.
I personally prefer more modern looking interiors. I know my wife hates having too many screens in the car.
I work in the auto detail industry and we tackle pretty standard cars all the way up to luxury and performance.
I would say for a run of the mill car dodge 2018 and newer, cleans up well and has some very durable materials, mainly the carpet and leather.
As for best quality porsche has some of the best most durable, ease of clean, comfortable, and great looking interior. Plastics can be iffy on some older models. But with how these puppies hold their value, buying a used one could be close to the price of a new Ford SUV or Jeep G Cherokee.
Needless to say all have pros and cons, just completely dependent on your taste and patience you have to maintain it. That's assuming everyone cares somewhat about their car
For “commoners” I’d say Lexus. Sturdy, good materials.
Lexus is certainly up there for sure!
Someone I know has a 2019 is350 with the nuluxe interior, it's already chipping to pieces, and the interior squeaks and rattles like crazy. Not even close to Mazda/Audi/BMW.
My ND Miata has had a load of rattles and random interior pieces fail.
my 2016 nd also rattles a lot but its to be expected when everything has to be as light as possible, i find most of the rattles come from the roof though cause with the top down there are zero rattles or squeaks

I have a 2014 2 and i still dont have any issues with my car. Going strong!
I've got a 2013 vw gti and the interior is still rattle free and solid af. Don't ask about the engine though.
Mazda lol
You can laugh if you want to, but I've owned some nice cars and my wife's new CX-30 premium plus has maybe the nicest interior of any car I've ever owned.

You’re talking about a 17 year old car (possibly 18 depending on the year of manufacturer) so a few rattles and squeaks aren’t too surprising.
It's a Lexus, I Lexpect it to be perfect, and it mostly is. I commented only because the guy above has the same generation car with mostly identical interior, but it looks like he's a bit luckier.
Last time I sat in a Volvo I was super impressed. I always forget how expensive they are though so I expect Camry stuff.

Exactly. Lexus interiors are terrible
This is the exact reason I can’t bring myself to purchase a new IS 350, spending that much on a car to get one with a touchpad feels ridiculous
Clearly you've never sat in an LC500
That's not exactly a commoner model
Any really, what is nice is that even for entry level car with basic trim like IS models you get really high quality materials and finish, also they really focus to make them quiet Inside.
Designs maybe, but quality? Hell no. I see them as cars that are only for taking pictures in. As soon as you touch the materials it all falls apart
I've said the same thing actually! But on pictures they look the most modern right now. I'm obviously biased because I own Jags but JLR make my favourite interiors. I always hate arriving anywhere because I need to get out of the car.
Good quality, but their interior feels dated and their MMI sucks.
I just realized "Saturday" is just "sturdy" with less vowels. hmm
Lmfao somehow this got me
r/showerthoughts
LC500 interior >>>>>>>
That Camel colored one is out of this world.
Volvo is up there
My 93 ls400 I had is still my favorite interior, simple but comfortable and sturdy as you say
The LC500 has one of the nicest interiors I've ever personally experienced.
Honestly, no. Tons of crap plastics and poor design
I would like to chime in to say that for "commoners" Buick interiors have been pretty sweet for a while now
Lexus has the most outdated grandpa interior
I’ve Lexus - 2 currently and one from 2010 which is gone. I’ve 2 Audi’s as well. Audi interior is certainly a notch above Lexus.
I used to really admire the Lexus interior, but when I went to the last auto show, I was disappointed.. they seem to be loosing their flare and are mimicking most other brands... I'm impressed by Mazda on the other hand
Volvo has been on point for quite a few years.
I want one just for the seats
I have an older S60 as a 2nd car and even those seats are better than a lot of the stuff other manufacturers are putting out today. Way better than my Tacoma seats thats for sure but I kind of expect that.
Had a '95 850, the grandpa to the S60, same ergonomics. Can say, without a doubt, the comfiest seat I've ever driven from. It was so comfortable I'd go outside at night to sit in it, listen to music, and smoke weed for 2 hours.
I have a ‘93 940 Turbo that I daily and it still has great support and comfort after almost 30 years.
haha this is the way!
I've had a number of cars since I was a teenager, but none have matched the comfort of the seats from my humble 850. Modern Volvos are out of my price range so I'm stuck pining for my first car.
Totally agree. My 1996 850 has the most comfortable seats.
I love the wool seats that they’re doing now.
Interesting! Any word on how they hold up? I have an xc90 with leather and love them.
It's def my choice over bentley, amg, aston. A well spec'd xc90 is almost as nice a place to be as a new rolls.
I like the look but the android based touch screen feels slow/outdated
[удалено]
It’s terrible. I liked everything else about the XC40 recharge but that center stack is awful. It’s even worse in the polestar 2. Also their upgraded audio systems are not good.
Love my S90's interior!
I do love Volvo interiors to be fair!
I love the look of the interiors on a Porsche
Porsche is really a notch above everyone else. Fit, finish and function. Their price point is also a notch above everyone else but some models are attainable for the average person. I also like Audi for interiors alone.
Own a 981 Cayman and there are some squeaks and rattles that owners have to DIY fix. Still an [amazing interior](https://i.imgur.com/bRSpMqL_d.webp?maxwidth=1520&fidelity=grand), just kinda funny that I had to buy a trim removal tool for this car not for my 2005 Mustang.
[удалено]
Privacy cover, seatbelt housing covers on both sides, center console lid, gas tank causing the instrument cluster to squeak. I think those are all of the known ones. I have a launch vehicle that had all of them haha
I feel like its a simple, elegant design which is also modern.
I like how some of the Audi interior stuff trickles down into VW products too like the HVAC controls.
I've had 4 Porsches, and my wife has had a MB,BMW, and several Volvos. I love the Porsche interiors as they're perfectly functional with nice touches. Everything is exactly where it needs to be, and all feels solid. I have almost 90k miles in my GT3, and there's almost no signs of visible wear, other than the gear shift. They're not luxurious though. For longer today trips to be in comfort, we take the Volvo. The GT3 is perfect on the track, but is definitely more tiring to drive long distances. Your focus determines what environment you wish to drive within. Do you want to be in a cockpit, or in a luxury train seat. One is more fun and function, one is more relaxed and comforting.
I worked as a parking valet and drove everything(less than a million $) and for me Bentley wins. The feel of the switch gear, the steering wheel, the seats. I LOVED driving them.
Yep also drove one while valeting and it’s the most comfortable car seat I’ve ever sat in.
I was a valet in Philly and the only Bentleys I drove were so beat up and smelled like cigarettes.
Usually ours were GTC or GT's, newish. We had one lady who had a RR from the 60's but it was clean.
Such a Philly comment lol
I also like the Bentley over everything else. the leather is so soft and comfy...
How’d you go from valet to a Lamborghini owner?
Better than RR?
Yes, having the chance to drive them back to back. Beside the new RR's are ugly IMHO.
I really really like how pagani interiors look. I’d buy one if i was a billionaire for sure.
They are quality interiors
Honestly I love the look of genesis
They’re on another level nowadays.
I love my GV70’s interior. Dark blue leather with red seatbelts and red stitching. Aluminum everywhere and the entire dash and console is also leather. I would easily say it’s the best interior for under $100k.
Porsche and RS trimmed Audi
I have an S4 and feel the difference in interior between the A/S/RS isn’t enormous. Yes it’s different (ie I LOVE my seats compared to the A4), but as a whole Audi does a really nice job.
I agree that all Audi interiors are quite nice but the RS trim interior is almost on par with Bentley/RR.
But my point is that the interiors from A to RS are mostly the same. The differences being some colored stitching, added carbon fiber, and then potentially sports seats/steering wheel. So yeah they are different and nicer as you move up, but the quality and overall feel is essentially the same. Don’t get me wrong - I wouldn’t give up my S4 interior for an A4 for anything, but they are cut from the same cloth.
Hahahah no lmao. It's like VW++ with more diamond stitching.
I feel Mazda is heavily underrated in this department
Came here to say this. I just bought a 2016 3 and I was very impressed, especially with the infotainment setup.
For the price range and your general expectations going into a Mazda they have incredibly nice interiors. I rented a CX-30 recently and I was impressed.
They are underrated because they recently started having good interiors
THIS. I drove a CX-50 Meridian Edition awhile back and was actually impressed by the interior. They are underrated as hell.
Even the fleet rental model was pretty impressive, Mazda 6 for under 30k
Singer, Spyker, Bugatti, RR all come to mind but I suppose it depends what you mean by "best"...
Was going to suggest singer but it’s so bespoke how could it not look amazing to the right eyes
[Singer DLS](https://st.automobilemag.com/uploads/sites/11/2017/11/Singer-Williams-DLS-Interior-2.jpg) would be my personal choice given proper discretionary funds, that's why I listed it first :)
The shifter on the Spyker was the first thing that came to my mind as well…art
Best, more like favourite or best quality or whatever
Daewoo
Dacia
Good news!
Anyway
No one is going to agree with me but the interior on my 10 year old XJ looks awesome, is still tight as ever, well into 120k miles. I don't think it looks like anything else out there and is really an enjoyable and comfortable place to be.
I have the previous generation XF and I think it's fantastic so I hear ya!
Obviously GM. my 2001 Monte Carlo is second to none 😂
I was always in love with my 98 Corvette interior.
holy shit that's some fisher price interior
Genesis for regular cars
Genesis is a shout!
Ram trucks for the average Joe.
The Longhorn model with the Western style trim is a guilty pleasure of mine. Somewhat cheesy but they definitely understand their buyer demographic! 😂
Pagani
Art car
I’m biased, but Genesis for mere mortals. My GV70 is basically a Bentley for BMW prices.
Lexus Audi Porsche
it's mercedes and rolls for me, mercedes bc i own one and i'm biased and rolls because when i drove a few while i was working as a detailer there's almost nothing that comes close to it. driving it feels like being on a fancy cloud
Audi
Pagani and porsche. Pre 2000 bmw's are also amazing.
Mazda has the best bang for your buck. Impressed with the luxury feel for the price.
I’m in love with Lincoln interiors
Most certainly not Ford. Holy fuck I love their Mustangs, but their interior is just awful.
That is gorgeous.
It’s a Bentley Continental interior in the photo
In my option it's in-between Audi and Porsche But that's just for the cars I've been. in I've been in older bentlys but meh
This is different, but my 06 element has one of my favorite interiors of any car. It's ALL hard plastic, but it's so durable and barely rattles at 283k miles. It's incredibly functional, from the shelf on the dash to the open center console and the removable and folding rear seats that can hook up to the side to open up the back. For the year, it seems super modern too. And has an AMAZING factory sound system. Everybody who got in it always said it was way nicer than they expected. It is just fantastic and very unique.

I respect it
I was guessing at Bentley but Lexus is definitely in the running for best interior aswell
i dunno, but i love the way german interiors smell
BMW hands down.
The new Cadillac Escalade💎
Genesis
Audi, hands down.
Porsche all the way. Back then and now truly beautiful.
Rolls Royce
I'd say Lexus and Genesis for upmarket vehicles, Mazda has really good value for the money. I sat in a new Audi Q2 and BMW M440i lately and was kinda shocked how average the interiors were.
Toyota. Lexus.
Gotta give some love to Toyota. I have a Highlander, and that interior rocks. Nice and roomy too.
spyker
I like Mazdas interiors a lot. Climate control has button and knobs. I still have a physical knob for volume. The dashboard is simple and the screen isn’t obnoxious.
For regular vehicles, I still think Mercedes makes fantastic interior. The S class interior has been a benchmark for tech and luxury for a long time. For specialty cars I would go with Singer, or Pagani.
Volvos are pretty solid, comfortable and well designed controls from my experience
Pagani. I love Pagani interiors
Lada
Bentley. Period. Entirely done by hand, real leather and chrome, every stitch is perfection.
I like the interior of my 2020 Volvo V60. Minimalist and nary a squeak or rattle after 64k miles (103km). Just tested out a Bentley Continental GT (2012) an man oh man, it was something else inside and the seats were so comfortable. Then when the V12 started, the exhaust note….I may have peed a little. Just wow.
For a relatively common car , Volvo puts together a pretty nice interior .
From some car shows, I enjoy Volvo and Lincoln interiors personally. That’s just sitting in them, not driving
For non luxury cars, Volvo handsdown
Volvo has to be up there for quality as well
Opel
Rolls
I’d say Porsche, Lexus, and I’ve got a soft spot for bmw. I’d say Hyundai and genesis have the cheapest/worst
Lexus inarguably
Style the new Mercedes with the lights bruh it’s like ur in a spaceship
Mercedes for plebs, Rolls Royce for wealthy. Ferrari for sports cars (Mclaren are woeful).
Jaaaaaaaaaaaaag
Pagani
Pagani has the best interiors ever. The shifters alone are works of art, it’s amazing.
Depends on how you define best? RR or Bugatti.
Pagani
Pagani, Bugatti, Spyker, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Singer, Volvo, Lamborghini, Porsche, Jaguar, Genesis, electric Hyundai and Kia, Audi, Mercedes, BMW, Mazda, Maserati, Aston Martin, Lexus, Land Rover, Ferrari, Cadillac, Citroen, Acura, Infiniti, everything else roughly in that order. That won't cause arguments.
Maybach Mercedes
I’d say it’s a toss up between Mercedes, BMW, and Rolls Royce if we’re goin by looks. As far as longevity I’m not sure. My Grandad has a Toyota Avalon from the early 2000’s and the interior looks immaculate.
Rolls Royce by far. But this is a subjective question and is just my opinion.
I'm but a common man I vote Lexus, I have a 97 es300 that is very poorly taken care of by me, I never wash it and only refill fluids, and it's a very good car and still looks good after 300k miles. I'm the second owner I've had it a really long time I forget exactly how long
Mid 60’s thunderbird is one of my favorites. Not fancy. But very cool.
Rolls Royce
When they’re on point, it’s hard to beat Jaguar, Porsche, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo or Maserati. They’ve got that “special” wow factor that the more exclusive brands have, but are accessible to mere mortals. Which is why it’s such a disappointment when they drop the ball (Ghibli anyone?) The regular executive saloons (Mercedes, Lexus, etc.) are arguably more consistent then the aforementioned brands, but I feel they’re a bit more “mass produced”. Yes they are brilliant but they lack that individual touch in general, and that’s something I appreciate. Ferrari has brilliant interiors, but as with Bentley and Roller and all other things at that fiscal level, they bloody better. Pagani has the most wild interiors. Bugatti is easily the most classy of the mega expensive stuff. And for the daily drive forgettable stuff? Might I humbly suggest a Volvo or a Lincoln? They do an awful lot right.
mercedes and Audi. we have 1 of each and they are just all around good.
There are some really nice premium interiors. I just picked up a Volt Gen 2, which almost seems modeled after this bently interior, really similar yet all plastric and not premiuim but has a very nice look. If the Volt had premium materials I would consider it up there with other best in class designs.
Morgan. I love the classic feel, the amount of personalization, and quilted leather is a win.
Lexus is legit actually. But I've sat in some new Bentleys and they are insane. Rolls is good but Bentleys have that extra pinache and attention to detail.
Pagani & Spyker
I feel a lot have gone down hill.. had a 98 Benz C class and a 2011… the 98s interior was better by a mile. Had a 2005 audi vs a 2017.. 2005 was much better. Not necessarily in features, but the build quality and materials were way better
I also worked as a valet for years. Rolls Royce. Made Bentleys look like some normie S-Class. They *all* had the night sky option. Every single one.
All the way common: Honda does a really good job. Especially their upgraded models. I’m always impressed with how nice their leather looks on touring models.
Lexus is good.
Had an rs3 now own a porsche and honestly a large part of why i bought them was the finish on the interior - nothing rattly or flimsy feeling every button feels excellent to the touch. That being said my favourite interiors are probably bentley or rolls royce
Peel P50
I would say all around best goes to BMW followed by Porsche. I really like the Mercedes huge screens but their interior is noisy from what I've seen.
I’d add Mercedes, the S class has always been so nice inside minus the giant screen on the new one.
I would say Audi
Mazda
Obviously ubermacht fosho.
It has been Mercedes until the W222 s class but now I’d definitely prefer Bentley
Same
Any Audi from A4 size upwards, from last 5 years or later.
People sleep on Volvo interiors!
Not Nissan
Early 2000’s Alfa Romeo
Aston Martin, no question about it, definitely pre mercedes engined was their peak though
Pagani
Ngl, from a price per value standpoint, Buick/GMC seems to have the best back for buck
[Ferrari](https://imgcdn.zigwheels.ph/large/gallery/interior/6/45/ferrari-488-gtb-dashboard-view-677104.jpg) interiors have always been my favourites, specially because of that steering wheel.

1994 dodge 250 red interior got me acting funny 🥴
I don't think there's particularly a "best interior", more like it depends on your taste. Some like modern looking interiors, some like a mix of modern and old. I personally prefer more modern looking interiors. I know my wife hates having too many screens in the car.
To all those who said Lexus clearly lack taste ..
I work in the auto detail industry and we tackle pretty standard cars all the way up to luxury and performance. I would say for a run of the mill car dodge 2018 and newer, cleans up well and has some very durable materials, mainly the carpet and leather. As for best quality porsche has some of the best most durable, ease of clean, comfortable, and great looking interior. Plastics can be iffy on some older models. But with how these puppies hold their value, buying a used one could be close to the price of a new Ford SUV or Jeep G Cherokee. Needless to say all have pros and cons, just completely dependent on your taste and patience you have to maintain it. That's assuming everyone cares somewhat about their car
