Comfortable Front Seats, Inconsistent Cabin Quality

There's plenty of space for adults in the front of the cabin. The bucket seats have comfortable cushions and a nice shape that agreed with my back. The seats have side bolsters that are there for you when you throw the car into a tight turn, keeping you planted. The steering wheel, however, only tilts; a telescoping adjustment would be nice.

Cabin materials are good in some places and unremarkable in others. The upper portion of the dashboard and sections of door trim have nicely grained surfaces, there's an upscale woven headliner, and the center controls for the climate and audio systems have a quality feel to them. However, there are also low-grade hard-plastic surfaces on the lower portion of the dash and sections of the doors, plus a snap that's used to secure the shifter boot and a steering wheel rim that's finished in leather but somehow feels like rubber.

The coupe technically seats four, thanks to its two-person backseat, but after a few rides back there your friends might start to think you don't like them. The space is cramped, with not much legroom and even less headroom; my head was pressed against the rear window when I climbed back there. Small children, on the other hand, should fit fine.
