I think the new interior is much better, visibility is fine, and with the rake/reach adjustments and better seating it's generally a nicer, more comfortable, and less plasticy place to be. I'm glad they reduced the hard plastic surfaces, and if you order an alloy dash, then that's even more the case.

The only downside for me is the centre column, and the illogical stereo layout, but both of those are improved with the satnav.
