I like my interior for the most part the shape is good but, I think the gauges should have been red, and I wish I had a little more leg room but I guess thats what comes with a vert.
The instrument cluster/pod thing is very cool. All the controls for the lights, wipers, turn signals and flashers are right at your fingertips with no fumbling. I love the black/gray tweed interior of the base '89-91 cars (I have a '90). The fabric stays clean and doesn't show much wear even after 14 years and 115,000 miles. The newer center console of the S5 does look a little better than the S4 version. However, even the S5 interior plastic trim is prone to cracking which is a minor disappointment. Half of my dash is held together inside with copper wire and screws I've buried in places you can't really see.

eh, nothing too special about the FC interior...it's simple and ergonomically well designed and has that cockpit feel but it's VERY cheap and flimsy. even for it's time it's pretty cheap compared to other sports cars/coupes. The 240SX of the same era is far nicer and far more stylish inside (although the FC gauges are much nicer). Generally Nissan and Toyota sports cars/coupes of the same era have a much nicer, higher quality interior...I think Mitsubishi, Mazda and Honda fall short. just my .02 I like my FC cluster @ night though hehe
