New Auris - A better redesign job than the 9G Civic? - Page 2

I don't like the interior at all:

riciks · 22nd August 2012, 18:09

Omg!!! Ugly!!!

Hullcivic1986 · 22nd August 2012, 18:51

Think I'm the only one who likes this lol. I think it looks a lot better put together than the styling of the 9 th gen. Everything kinda 'flows' better rather than everything looking like its stuck on which imo the 9 th gen does.
Granted its not the best looking car in the world but personally I think its alright. Plus the old auris was just a run of the mill hatch therefore its not got as much to prove as the 9 th gen civic

Think you need to go to specsavers... this ain't pretty

Focus on just one part of the centre console. Overall I think it looks pretty good.

Kremmen, looking at the photo of the interior this one has a standard hand brake (assuming it it's not a collective and the car doubles as a helicopter).

Yes it does, maybe Toyota have changed their strategy.

Just like Honda I think they should swap the positions of the air vents and the SatNav. SatNav would be easier to 'glance read' and does it matter if the vents are a few inches lower?

chrishunt · 26th August 2012, 22:15

Kremmen agreed! The Satnav screen should be seen increasingly as a key instrument and able to be read at a glance - far too many are too low or not in a visual arc which encompasses a drivers natural line of sight. Bad "Human Factors" in the design and something that all car manufacturers should be addressing.

Chris

I think they do think about this stuff all the time. They just don't always come to the same conclusions as everyone else.

skam · 27th August 2012, 13:18

it looks already outdated...focus on the digital clock...looks like a hyundai pony one back in the early 90's! And the air vents...look like a late 80's nissan bluebird.

The dashboard is good though....

Kremmen · 28th August 2012, 06:40

The other thing to note is the very high number of recalls Toyota have had recently, some of them quite dangerous items as well.

That clock is shocking!

The whole interior is a hash of design

Bog · 28th August 2012, 08:05

I know I'm biased because I own one, but seriously, how can you say this new Auris is a better design than the 9th Gen...

How is this...

better than this???

Lol, I know the haters are going to hate, but come on...

robbo51 · 28th August 2012, 08:09

Looks OK to me
Whilst its not a car I would consider, its going to be very reliable and is innovative in its design

bodgerx · 28th August 2012, 08:31

I'd say the front is more successful on the Auris.

What do you mean by successful in this context?

9th Gen is more innovative in my opinion. Auris front end looks similar to a Golf i.e. boring.

The_Saint · 28th August 2012, 17:02

To me it looks very like the next generation Seat Ibiza... but they again, all cars are starting to look very similar.

It works as an overall design. It looks quite agressive. The Civic has the awkward bit of plastic between the lights and the grill.
