Thread 28577978

Toyota is a predatory company that hates its customers and makes the worst, cheapest cars possible sold to an unassuming public that buys them on some distant promise of reliability and easy maintenance (because they are using 10-20 year old tech).

I thought the current Corolla interior was the worst of any car - but no this is the worst.

>>28577978 (OP)
the engine may not fail, but the chassis will
would it kill them to use decent metal?

Looks ok to me? for an econobox at least
t. E90 driver and wishes hish dashboard was more practical for having stuff on, the glovebox was a tad bit bigger to fit A4 size papers and there wasnt a competely pointless pocket between the shifter and the arm rest that cant even fit a phone well enough

>>28577992
that's such a disappointing generation of interior
though I realize pic related is some sort of base model
the high point I think is the late 90s interiors and from like 2017-2021 they had good stuff then they yeeted the buttons and cheapened the materials

>>28577978 (OP)
Brought to you by Fisher Price, the FIAT cheap look is an art form.

>makes the worst, cheapest cars possible sold to an unassuming public
So all of the enthusiasts who demanded simpler fewer screens more analogue driver-oriented driving experiences were wrong in demanding this exact setup?

My driver in traffic, this is what people for a decade have been demanding and of course when a company delivers on these autistic demands, the same people cry about it not being nice or luxurious enough.
I don't blame car companies for making "bad" interiors, "bad" cars, or "ugly" cars. Someone demanded it years ago and NPCs are buying them today. You're like a cat that meows at 3am to be let in only to fuck off once the light gets turned on.

>>28578018
this is cheap but at least it has some style and design elements
also, runs much cheaper than the yaris gr

>>28577978 (OP)
literally all modern interiors are bad. I genuinely have no idea what you guys that complain about a specific car's interior nowadays are looking at that's bad. It's all bad.

what am I supposed to not like about this interior exactly?

>>28577982
Like prog?

>>28578018
No giant screen anywhere? Enough reason for me to like it.

>>28578022
Lmao wut. It better come with 30k in mods.

>>28578025
Not him, but 20 years ago was 2005. We've hit the point where 10-20 year old tech is still computers and screens, just godawful janky, laggy, poorly-designed ones that are even more frustrating than the typical new car.

OP's pic also isn't at all the analogue experience people want. Not only does it have an infotainment screen, it also has a digital dash, and the car itself is everything people complain about - a tiny, high pressure direct injection turbo motor hooked up to a complicated AWD system, all heavily reliant on computer control.

>>28578022
didnt look well enough, thought it was the normal yaris

>>28578060
55k isn't much nowadays

>>28578061
>Not only does it have an infotainment screen
I don't know where this stupid shit came from to claim people don't want any screens at all.
phone mounts, aftermarket head units, and back before this shit, car GPSs, are/were extremely popular.
The screen takeover is because people wanted screens in their car. Auto manufacturers just went about 10 steps too far with them and started removing analog controls and gauges.

>>28577978 (OP)
20 years ago you too could have had this luxurious interior.

>>28578137
RETVRN TO POVERTYBOX

>>28578129
I agree with you, but there's a very vocal minority of people who want to go back to the '80s (or earlier) and make sure to flood every car-related space on the internet with that opinion. It's funny because people will swear by the free market but refuse to believe it's at fault when manufacturers don't make stuff that they personally want, you see it all the time with the crossovers everywhere, the lack of small trucks, etc. too.

>>28577978 (OP)
there's nothing wrong with that interior. it's functional.

>>28578061
>Not him, but 20 years ago was 2005.
Did you get your theoretical math degree from MIT? Who cares if 20 year old tech is still computers and screens? I'm not sure why nobody told you, but we're not going back to the 1970s where nothing was computer and nothing was screen. Yeah they're imperfect because its tech from 20 years ago but you're comparing that old shit to screens from today, which means a screen from today is pretty darn good, barring european nonsense that makes no sense.
>also isn't at all the analogue experience people want.
Turns out everyone wants infotainment screens. They're just better. CarPlay and AA are superior to EVERYTHING car makers have ever tried in the past. How the fuck else do you want to get your phone to play audio through speakers? Navigate? and do things like display the federally required backup camera? You can't and theres a reason 99.99% of cars come with infotainment screens
>it also has a digital dash
Thats the only point I'll concede, a digital dash with physical needles moving would be better, but very few people who actually buy cars (not jerkoffs on /o/ that spout autistic complaints over shit they can't afford) are willing to buy.
>some babble about the drivetrain
We're discussing the interior and driver position, sweaty. see >>28578052 for extra credit.

>>28578022
It's 35k usd here.

>>28577978 (OP)
What does this car cost? This is a $20,800 msrp interior

Kids these days have never seen a bad car interior.

>>28578179
>How the fuck else do you want to get your phone to play audio through speakers?
cassette aux adapter coming from an MP3 player that's older than (You). or just cassettes.
>Navigate
brain.
>Everyone wants slop! Slop is just better!
shalom. The manufacturers want it because they can buy a generic touchscreen head unit and slap it on all their cars without having to actually design the interior on/around it.
>federally required backup camera
politicians would bubblewrap the whole world if it meant getting votes

>>28578320

Okay grandpa, its time for you to log off the internet for today

I like the android auto head unit I put in my 90s car.

>>28578179
You've got the wrong idea. I like my CarPlay myself, I think that's a useful feature. I was just responding to the other anon who said
>So all of the enthusiasts who demanded simpler fewer screens more analogue driver-oriented driving experiences were wrong in demanding this exact setup?
And saying that the GR isn't analog at all, and that OP's mention of 10-20 year old tech doesn't mean analog either, just old digital.

what are all those knobs and buttons?

Rotary encoders and microswitches that send digital signals to the body computer or infotainment system.

Are you blind or retarded?

>>28578515
You're being pedantic. The other guy is taking about physical analog switches vs something controlled through a touch screen.

It follows an almost identical layout philosophy just 30 years newer.

Rally cockpits confuses the American. Got it.

>>28577978 (OP)
The Corolla interior is not "bad", it's just simple and plain. At worst, you're just not getting what you've paid for, but that's because almost all of the money went into the bespoke engine, drivetrain, and body instead. And that's arguably a good thing, because if it was any more expensive people would be bitching anyway.

>>28578724

If you don't like it then there's always the pre-refresh. Literally who even calls the Corolla interior ugly >>28578753 when it's actually better than the Yaris

>>28578753
If you compare it to other interiors in the compact class it is by far the cheapest and worst.

Hyundai gets away with low margin. I would hardly classify this as better than GR Corolla interior. Toyota's is cheap, functional, and easy on the eyes. Hyundai is just cheap. For fuck sake they have a blank screen on the left.

Kill yourself

I love that the mk2 gr yaris makes retards seethe. The same type of guys who go to car meets and spend all night talking about spacers or wheel fitment.

Cars built for driving chumps and the only type of driving that matters is mountain backroads

>>28578056
Underrated.

>>28578179
>display the federally required backup camera?

>>28578670
Not him but nope it doesnt.
The most obvious difference in layout is center panel stack: in Mazda vents are on the very top, then HVAC controls, then multimedia. It's retarded because you're going to look at your radio/player the most out of these three, so it should be on top (in other words, closest to where you're supposed to look normally, the road).

>>28579113
I'll bet GPS navigation and displaying what song is playing on your phone is simply wonderful on a 1.4" screen.

>>28579131
Your phone has 6+ inches of screen, retard.
Learn to read, this was about backup camera requirement.

>>28579135
>I hate infotainment screens!
>I wish every car came with a mount to put my shitty little screen on it!
So you want an objectively worse solution to something that already exists?

>>28579180
Learn to read, retard.

>>28579182
I read the stupidity you wrote; you're wanting the bare minimum to comply with the law, not a usable feature on a car. Thats fucking stupid and accomplishes nothing. If you're wiring up a screen, why wouldn't you just put a screen in the dash?

>>28579212
Of course I want the bare minimum, I don't need a screen to park.
I wonder why are you calling their absence stupid while being unable to comprehend information being presented to you on one.

>>28579113
Why isn't that full screen? I've never seen a camera/mirror that doesn't do full screen.

>>28579242

Lack of experience probably. Here's another type.

never had a problem with that, picrelated is enough

Still nope, not even a review of those thumbnail views. Perhaps it's an American thing.

>>28579247
Of course it's American, you have to learn to read too.
>federally required

However, H3s were produced outside the US and exported all over the world, there's an RHD version too.

My car has an annoying panel between the speedo and tach to tell you annoying things. Music and phone info goes there and you control what happens with buttons on the wheel.
It does have a 2din panel for gps and radio that will take anything a 2din space will.

>>28578753
Actually a good point. A plain interior is actually ok, problem is these interiors subconsciously makes me associate them with bad, bad things:
Economy cars without soundproofing and bad seats.
I’m looking at you Honda Civic.

>>28579423
>Economy cars without soundproofing and bad seats.
Its odd how sound deadening is somehow a $6000 option. My maverick sounds like a tin can and when you fold down the rear seat, they didn't bother with any sound deadening. If I wanted that I should've done better in school to readily afford an F150...

>>28579423
its ok to use colors and designs

>>28579465

they needed to replace the platform with a new one - not give it a fucking bed in the back

>>28579716
Replacing the platform doesn't add insulation. They cheaped out for a reasonably good reason, but it is one of those "it must cost you $200 at most to add cheap insulation, but instead you chose not to" situations.

>>28579732
>Replacing the platform doesn't add insulation.
it sure fucking does if its screwed together more tightly and they have room to do that with a new platform
>for a reasonably good reason
imagine running damage control for shitty companies

>>28579423
>Economy cars without soundproofing and bad seats.
GR Corolla doesn't have much sound proofing, the general consensus from actual owners say that this car is very mechanical and you can hear just about everything including the dual mass flywheel which confuses most new owners. Seats I've never heard anything bad about, but mine are the upper trim suede ones.

>>28577978 (OP)
as a GR Corolla owner, I think this GR Yaris interior refresh looks awesome. I love the arcade cabinet feel. But I'm content with the GRrolla for actually owning and daily driving because it's just an upbadged Corolla inside.
