Nice bit of style inside here. I think though, that this size of car is tending towards a higher roof line which gives easier entry and exit conditions in a tight package and more comfortable seating. A more chunky look does not necessarily have to be less stylish. Most cars by a long chalk in NA are automatics, so why the big round tachometer and only digital for speed on the road...which is what you need to know surely. RPM is information of no value in this instance IMO...there is nothing that you can do with it...not that the tach is not appropriate for manual versions. I suppose that with quieter interiors and less engine sound it is more difficult to aurally assess the need to change gears. In olden times the strain and sound and vibrations of the engine, announced that a change of gear was required...or else. Do modern day stick shifters really look at the tach. in order to know when to change gear.
Anyway, not withstanding personal inclinations, I like the clean and upscale looking interior in this compact package. The exterior seems pretty much the same as it was, to me...not that it was not just fine.
