I’ve noticed that many car reviewers spend a good amount of time pointing out whether or not they like the texture/feel of materials on the interior of the car. Does the average person actually care about this aspect of their car, or is it just a point of interest for some niche group of car enthusiasts? I’ve driven shitboxes and I’ve driven luxury cars, and I have never cared about or even noticed the feel or quality of the material on the dash and the steering wheel. I guess maybe the steering wheel material could make some people uncomfortable depending on what it’s made of, but come on, the dashboard? Who ever strokes their hand against their dashboard just to feel what the texture is like?
Yes, people care about how it feels.
I reckon the average person cares much more about this while enthusiasts are likelier to find it in them to forgive a car with an interior having happy meal toy grade plastics if the cars dynamics are decent enough
Given the amount of crying this sub does about Dodges, enthusiasts certainly care about how an interior feels too.
hahahahaha “happy meal grade plastics” looking at you Toyota Supra
